Fixing paper assignments

  1. Please select all papers that belong to the same person.
  2. Indicate below which author they should be assigned to.
Provide a valid ORCID iD here. This will be used to match future papers to this author.
Provide the name of the school or the university where the author has received or will receive their highest degree (e.g., Ph.D. institution for researchers, or current affiliation for students). This will be used to form the new author page ID, if needed.

In-Context Learning of Soft Nearest Neighbor Classifiers for Intelligible Tabular Machine Learning
Mykhailo Koshil | Matthias Feurer | Katharina Eggensperger
Proceedings of the 4th Table Representation Learning Workshop

With in-context learning foundation models like TabPFN excelling on small supervised tabular learning tasks, it has been argued that “boosted trees are not the best default choice when working with data in tables”. However, such foundation models are inherently black-box models that do not provide interpretable predictions. We introduce a novel learning task to train ICL models to act as a nearest neighbor algorithm, which enables intelligible inference and does not decrease performance empirically.
