We got tired of trying 10 ML models every time we had a new dataset [P]
Tired of the iterative grind of testing multiple machine learning models for each new dataset? We were too. That’s why we built Arcliq (https://arcliq.app), a platform designed to streamline your ML workflow. Simply upload your tabular data, and Arcliq automatically handles preprocessing, trains and compares various models, and delivers the best-performing solution. Our goal is to empower users – regardless of expertise – to rapidly move from data to working model.

My Model Was Cheating on Its Own Test
Data scientists often strive for model accuracy, but what happens when a model gains an unfair advantage? In a recent *Towards Data Science* post, an author discovered their car price prediction model was "cheating" – a preprocessing pipeline inadvertently allowed it to glimpse the test set. This resulted in a deceptively high R-squared score. The experience highlights a critical pitfall in machine learning workflows and the importance of rigorous validation.
