The paper introduces a pre‑training pipeline that creates transformer‑based imputation specialists for tabular data with specific missingness patterns. By featurizing entries, generating synthetic data with configurable missingness modules, and fitting on millions of synthetic tables, the pipeline produces pattern‑specific models that outperform dedicated methods for each missingness pattern. A default model trained only on MCAR data, TabImpute, remains robust across all tested patterns, and the authors release the pipeline, models, and a new benchmark of 42 datasets and 11 missingness patterns.

arXiv:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.
