RowNet: A Memory Transformer for Tabular Regression

Real estate valuation is a structured regression problem in which prices are governed by heterogeneous feature types, sparse regional effects, nonlinear interactions, and the practical logic of comparable properties. Standard multilayer perceptrons treat each row as an isolated vector and must learn locality, scale sensitivity, and categorical matching from supervision alone.

Deep Learning for Cross-Border Electricity Price Forecasting: A Comparative Study

The paper presents a comparative study of six deep learning models—state-space, MLP, RNN, and Transformer-based architectures—for cross-border electricity price forecasting using publicly available data. It focuses on generalization across markets and evaluates performance under low-data target-market conditions (zero-shot, one-shot, few-shot) with a standardized dataset for the Germany‑Luxembourg bidding zone in 2024. Results show that N‑HiTS and NBEATSx perform competitively in limited‑data scenarios, while transformer models achieve comparable accuracy but require more adaptation and tuning, and that careful feature selection and hyperparameter tuning improve performance.

Electricity Price Forecasting: Bridging Linear Models, Neural Networks and Online Learning

The paper presents a hybrid neural architecture that blends linear and nonlinear feed‑forward networks for day‑ahead electricity price forecasting. It introduces a partial online learning strategy with warm‑starting and stage‑specific hyperparameters to cut computational time, and employs Bernstein Online Aggregation to combine forecasts. Experiments on six years of major European markets show the method reduces RMSE by 11‑12% and MAE by 14‑17% compared to state‑of‑the‑art benchmarks while lowering computational cost.

Deep Learning vs. Statistical Models for Multi-Horizon Price Forecasting of Second-Hand Electronics: A Systematic Benchmark

The paper introduces the first multi‑horizon benchmark for forecasting resale prices of second‑hand electronics, comparing eleven statistical and deep learning models on a large Polish marketplace dataset covering 100+ smartphone and laptop models from January 2022 to March 2025. Across horizons from 1 to 365 days, N‑BEATS consistently outperforms all statistical baselines, achieving an 8.51% MAPE at 365 days versus 14.94% for the best baseline—a 43% reduction—while all models converge to about 0.72% MAPE for short horizons. A single N‑BEATS model trained for the 365‑day horizon generalizes to all shorter horizons, eliminating the need for horizon‑specific models, and N‑BEATS and N‑HiTS show superior hyperparameter stability.

pTNAS: Progressive Neural Architecture Search for Tabular Data

arXiv:2403. 10318v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent advances have shifted the paradigm of tabular learning toward tabular foundation models, yet their accuracy relies on a heavy inference cost that scales poorly with context size.

Solving In-Table Prediction Problems by Deep Neural Networks with Performance Evaluation Using Synthetic Data

The paper introduces In-Table Prediction (ITB), a self‑supervised task where deep neural networks learn to predict any column in a table from the remaining columns. It proposes a novel neural layer to handle missing continuous values, generates synthetic datasets with controlled column relationships, and evaluates three architectures—MLP, ResNet, and Transformer—showing that attention‑based Transformers perform best when ample training data and large embeddings are used. The study is limited to synthetic, small‑column tables and is presented as an initial investigation rather than a comprehensive real‑world analysis.

AIGP: An LLM-Based Framework for Long-Term Value Alignment in E-Commerce Pricing

arXiv:2606. 26787v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traditional dynamic pricing models in large-scale e-commerce suffer from limited interpretability, poor utilization of unstructured information, and misalignment with long-term business objectives such as cumulative Gross Merchandise Value (GMV), Return on Investment (ROI) and milestone achievement.

Constrained Triple-Head Price Optimization (C3PO) Network for Discrete-Choice Models

The paper introduces the Constrained Triple-Head Price Optimization (C3PO) network, a transformer-based model designed for real‑time bi‑level decision making in discrete‑choice settings. C3PO integrates price imitation learning, multi‑task revenue prediction, and in‑context elasticity learning, while a lightweight differentiable constraint layer enforces business pricing rules. Experiments on simulated, synthetic, and real‑world datasets show that C3PO outperforms calibrated MNL baselines by up to 7.9 percentage points in expected revenue and reduces constraint violations by over 50%, with significant improvements in healthcare tender and airline ancillary pricing applications.
