Towards Pretraining Text Encoders for TabPFN

arXiv:2606. 04876v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular foundation models, such as TabPFN, achieve strong performance on tabular datasets with numerical and categorical data, but do not natively handle high-cardinality text features.

BluTrain: A C++/CUDA Framework for AI Systems

arXiv:2606. 24780v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Progress in deep learning is, at scale, more a matter of systems engineering than of modelling: the behaviour of a model in training (its throughput, its memory footprint, and the numerical fidelity of the result) is determined less by the architecture itself than by how that architecture is expressed on the hardware.
