Inherently interpretable classifiers for tabular data typically rely on sparse features, rules, or patterns that users can inspect directly. The marginal feature-screening step common to these methods can discard variables whose predictive value emerges only through joint configurations with other variables.

arXiv:2608. 18026v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large-scale, high-dimensional tabular regression remains challenging: tree-based models are robust but lack end-to-end representation learning, while deep models enable flexible feature learning but often incur costly interaction modeling and sensitivity to noisy or redundant features.

arXiv:2606. 02106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present a single classification pipeline that combines an Equiangular Tight Frame (ETF) preprocessing stage with a tabular foundation model for in-context inference, applied identically across modalities once data is mapped to fixed vector representations.

arXiv:2606. 08365v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sparse autoencoder (SAE) features are increasingly used to steer language models, but feature steering is rarely clean: the same intervention can behave inconsistently across contexts and perturb unrelated features.
