arXiv:2606. 30410v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Foundation models for predictive machine learning on tabular data have recently gained significant traction in academia and industry.
arXiv:2606. 02384v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Progress in tabular machine learning has largely focused on increasingly sophisticated model architectures.
arXiv:2607. 24130v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular data is the dominant structured-data modality, and learning table representations has become a core research direction.
arXiv:2607. 03659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Relational databases (RDBs) are the primary data infrastructure in many enterprises, yet recent deep learning methods designed for RDBs have been evaluated under inconsistent experimental protocols, making fair comparison difficult.
arXiv:2511. 15941v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Tabular data underpins decisions across science, industry, and public services.
Tabular data is the dominant structured-data modality, and learning table representations has become a core research direction. Table-level embeddings in particular underpin a wide range of applications, including table retrieval, data lake discovery, and table classification.
arXiv:2607. 10077v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular learning is still dominated by gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDTs), while recent deep learning approaches have become increasingly competitive.
arXiv:2602. 02025v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: ML models critically depend on feature quality, yet in real-world settings, useful features are often distributed across multiple relational tables rather than a single dataset.
arXiv:2608. 13023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational Deep Learning (RDL) models multi-tabular databases as temporal heterogeneous graphs to enable end-to-end representation learning.
arXiv:2607. 05380v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In deep learning for tabular data, efficient ensembles of multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) have recently emerged as effective and practical architectures.
arXiv:2607. 20140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Detecting and cleaning errors in tabular data is a prerequisite for data intense software applications.
arXiv:2606. 11268v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Understanding and forecasting lake dynamics is critical for monitoring water quality and ecosystem health across lakes and reservoirs.
