ARASH: Adaptive Retrieval And Shot Selection for Tabular Prediction
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.17856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular prediction is a critical task across numerous applications. The recent success of large language models has sparked various approaches for adapting them to the tabular domain. A prevalent strategy involves training or fine-tuning specialized Tabular Foundation Models (TFMs) such as TabPFN. However, TFMs require substantial computational resources, and frequent model retraining is often impractical. In-context learning (ICL), specifically, few-shot prompting, offers a resource-efficient alternative to enhance performance. Yet, identifying
