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:2608. 03565v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While modern tabular learners excel at capturing statistical patterns, they frequently operate in a semantic vacuum, treating textual features as discrete symbols, ignoring the rich semantics inherent in feature names or cell entries.
arXiv:2606. 09323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular encoders are usually evaluated inside task-specific end-to-end pipelines, so models from different training paradigms are difficult to compare directly even when they operate on similar tabular signals.
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:2602. 10441v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Data lakes have become a fundamental platform for large-scale machine learning by enabling flexible management of heterogeneous data.
arXiv:2506. 18421v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The majority of data in businesses and industries is stored in tables, databases, and data warehouses.
We introduce FlexTab, a flexible encoder-decoder architecture for in-context learning on tabular data that pairs a single, task-agnostic encoder with a suite of task-specific decoders. Unlike existing tabular in-context learners, which entangle feature representations with a specific prediction target, our design produces \textit{target-agnostic} row embeddings that can be leveraged across a wide range of downstream tasks within a table-native in-context learning setup.
Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context.

arXiv:2608. 17957v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) increasingly rely on in-context learning, where a model receives labelled examples at inference time and predicts labels for new inputs without updating its weights.
arXiv:2604. 01841v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clinical prediction from structured electronic health records (EHRs) is challenging due to high dimensionality, heterogeneity, class imbalance, and distribution shift.
arXiv:2607. 23507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Choosing the right text embedding model is one of the most consequential -- and most frequently under-examined -- decisions in building a retrieval or search system, yet the model that tops a leaderboard is rarely the best choice for a given deployment.
