  • TLDR:Tabular foundation models perform in-context learning (ICL) by conditioning predictions on labeled training examples provided as context. Unlike traditional models that separate training from inference, these models must process all training examples in every forward pass, making each prediction expensive. Restricting the number of training examples reduces this cost but substantially degrades performance. Instead of discarding context, we propose activation alignment, a method that leverages the full context to teach a model how to behave when seeing only a subset. This is achieved by trainin

  • TLDR中文:表格基础模型通过以标注训练样本为条件进行上下文学习 (ICL) 来预测。与分离训练与推理的传统模型不同,这些模型必须在每次前向传播中处理所有训练样本,导致每次预测成本高昂。限制训练样本数量可降低成本,但会显著降低性能。我们不丢弃上下文,而是提出激活对齐 (activation alignment),利用完整上下文来教会模型在仅看到子集时如何行为。这是通过训练一个……
