TabICLv2 is a new state‑of‑the‑art tabular foundation model that outperforms existing methods on regression and classification tasks. It relies on a synthetic data generation engine for diverse pretraining, architectural innovations such as a scalable softmax attention, and optimized training protocols that replace AdamW with the Muon optimizer. On the TabArena and TALENT benchmarks, TabICLv2 surpasses the current best model, RealTabPFN‑2.5, without any tuning, while also being faster and capable of handling million‑scale datasets with limited GPU memory.
RecKAN introduces a learnable recursive polynomial basis for Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks, replacing fixed bases like B-splines or Chebyshev polynomials. The basis is defined by a second‑order polynomial recurrence whose five coefficients are jointly learned with the network, enabling it to encompass classical families such as Chebyshev, Fibonacci, Pell, and Jacobsthal. Experiments across image, text, biomedical time‑series classification, and forecasting tasks show RecKAN outperforming parameter‑matched KAN baselines and achieving state‑of‑the‑art results on several benchmarks.
arXiv:2608. 02845v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular model performance degrades when feature distributions change over time or the relationship between features and outcome variables change over time, known as data drift and concept drift, respectively.
arXiv:2605. 18383v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We present TabH2O, a foundation model for tabular data that performs classification and regression in a single forward pass via in-context learning.
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.
Interpretable AI with Local Distillation proposes a method where a black‑box teacher model guides a regularized linear student model at each query point. The teacher defines locality by upweighting training observations with similar predicted outcomes and anchors the fit with its own prediction at the query point, treated as a pseudo‑observation. By adding Gaussian randomization and refitting, the approach identifies reliable features and stable subgroups, achieving near‑teacher accuracy while producing sparse, locally interpretable linear models.
