CRUMB: Efficient Prior Fitted Network Inference via Distributionally Matched Context Batching

CRUMB is a new inference wrapper that makes prior-fitted networks (PFNs) more practical for large datasets by clustering test queries and selecting distributionally matched training subsets using maximum mean discrepancy minimization. The technique is architecture-agnostic, requires no retraining, and demonstrates superior performance across multiple PFN models on tabular benchmarks.

Towards Unified and Data-Efficient Prognostics and Health Management with Tabular Foundation Models

Researchers propose applying Tabular Foundation Models to industrial Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) tasks by converting time-series signals into tabular representations. The approach demonstrates superior performance across diagnostics and prognostics compared to sequence models and transformers, while achieving high data efficiency in low-data industrial settings.

Few-shot Cross-country Generalization of Tabular Machine Learning and Foundation Models for Childhood Anemia Prediction under Distribution Shift

Researchers evaluated transformer-based foundation models against classical machine learning methods for predicting childhood anemia across 16 countries using DHS data. TabPFN, a tabular foundation model, demonstrated superior performance in low-data environments with better calibration metrics, suggesting foundation models offer practical advantages for global health prediction in resource-constrained settings.

Mitigating Label Shift in Tabular In-Context Learning via Test-Time Posterior Adjustment

Researchers introduce DistPFN, a test-time adjustment method that improves TabPFN's vulnerability to label shift—a common problem where machine learning models overfit to majority classes. The solution rescales predicted probabilities without requiring architectural changes or retraining, demonstrating significant improvements across 250+ datasets while maintaining performance in standard settings.
