Assembled-OpenML: Creating Efficient Benchmarks for Ensembles in AutoML with OpenML

Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) frameworks regularly use ensembles. Developers need to compare different ensemble techniques to select appropriate techniques for an AutoML framework from the many potential techniques. So far, the comparison of ensemble techniques is often computationally expensive, because many base models must be trained and evaluated one or multiple times. Therefore, we present Assembled-OpenML. Assembled-OpenML is a Python tool, which builds meta-datasets for ensembles using OpenML. A meta-dataset, called Metatask, consists of the data of an OpenML task, the task's dataset, and prediction data from model evaluations for the task. We can make the comparison of ensemble techniques computationally cheaper by using the predictions stored in a metatask instead of training and evaluating base models. To introduce Assembled-OpenML, we describe the first version of our tool. Moreover, we present an example of using Assembled-OpenML to compare a set of ensemble techniques. For this example comparison, we built a benchmark using Assembled-OpenML and implemented ensemble techniques expecting predictions instead of base models as input. In our example comparison, we gathered the prediction data of $1523$ base models for $31$ datasets. Obtaining the prediction data for all base models using Assembled-OpenML took ∼ 1 hour in total. In comparison, obtaining the prediction data by training and evaluating just one base model on the most computationally expensive dataset took ∼ 37 minutes.

Code

Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.

Code Syntology ran Syntology

4 samples harvested; 0 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 4 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-24; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.

Licence: 0 of the 4 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.

Harvested from isg-siegen/assembled. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.

Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.

Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
