Scaling Laws for Classical Machine Learning on Tabular Data: A Benchmark Study
Prior classical-ML learning-curve work fits power laws to tree, linear, and kernel models on tabular data, but at small scale: typically one curve, one team, a handful of cells. We present a distributed classroom-scale replication: 127 students each ran a fixed protocol on 3 assi…
