subpop_50k

Part of TabBioMed (TabBioMed: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Biomedical Tabular Learning), a benchmark of 94 curated biomedical tabular datasets. Code, preprocessing and documentation: https://github.com/AI-sandbox/TabBioMed.

This dataset contains genotypes from chromosome chr22 for a subset of samples from the 1000 Genomes Project and HGDP. For this specific dataset, 50k SNPs at random positions were selected from the original sequences and missing values where introduced with a probability of 0%. The task is to predict the specific subpopulation of each sample based on the genotypes.

Splits. Fixed train/val/test split (1751/375/375 rows).

Files

• data/**.parquet: one row per sample. row_idx is the row index in the original TabBioMed array; f_<i>[_<name>] are the features (in order); target (or target_<j> for multi-target tasks) is the label. Categorical feature indices (0-based, among the features): []. Missing values are stored as nulls.
• metadata.json: TabBioMed task metadata (task type, categorical indices, source, description).
