Description

Something went wrong with task 361162: https://api.openml.org/api/v1/task/361162
It does not have associated estimation procedure or dataset (in the description). The dataset the website links to is removed. Potentially the website still has this information in an Elastic Search index? Either way, I suspect this is some kind of oversight when deleting a dataset, but I am not sure. Probably not worth looking into, but could be relevant during the development of the new API, so I did want to log the issue.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the task endpoint for task 361162 and compare its response with the dataset linked by the website. Check whether the missing estimation procedure and dataset description are caused by deletion or stale Elastic Search data. Done means identifying the source of the inconsistency and documenting the required API correction or confirming that no change is needed.
