arXiv:2601. 22259v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While tabular foundation models have achieved remarkable success in classification and regression, adapting them to model time-to-event outcomes for survival analysis is non-trivial due to right-censoring, where data observations may end before the event of interest occurs.
The paper explores how to adapt tabular foundation models (TabFMs) for censored time‑to‑event prediction by linking them with CoxPH and DeepHit and revising training procedures. It evaluates zero‑shot, classification‑based fine‑tuning, and survival‑head adaptations across 74 single‑risk and 4 competing‑risk datasets, finding that zero‑shot works best on small datasets while supervised adaptation excels as data grows. The study shows that the choice of adaptation interface and data regime critically influences TabFM transfer performance.
The paper refactors and expands the scikit-rebate Python package, adding new Relief‑Based Algorithm (RBA) variants such as SWRF*, mu‑Relief, and five novel methods that use alternative neighbor selection and feature scoring strategies. Benchmarking across diverse genomic simulations shows that most RBAs, except mu‑Relief, effectively detect 2‑way interactions in noisy data, with far‑scoring variants like MultiSWRFDB* excelling at interaction detection but being less sensitive to main effects. The refactored package achieves 10‑ to 35‑fold runtime reductions, and the new RBAs maintain strong performance for both main effects and 2‑way epistatic interactions, preserving predictive signals for downstream modeling.
