Description
Description
My understanding is that when creating a task, the selected estimation procedure defines the train/test splits of the dataset. When creating a run, a model is evaluated on the given dataset using some estimation procedure such as cross-validation.
Is it possible to provde hidden test sets for evaluation of solutions? There is a "Note" about that on https://openml.github.io/OpenML/#circles-under-construction in the section about Tasks but I'm not sure if this version of the docs is up-to-date.
For my use case, this issue is connected to openml/openml-python#1231. I would like the user to be able to upload the predictions for a test set where the labels are hidden, so the user has no access to it. Is this possible by default? Or would I need to create a separate task with a separate dataset that only contains X, but no labels? What would be the recommende approach here?
Thanks!
