RelICL: Training-free Relational Learning with Tabular Foundation Models

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.01725v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular foundation models achieve state-of-the-art performance on single-table tasks without any training. Recent work suggests that they are also well-suited for relational learning via deep feature synthesis (DFS), which flattens a relational schema into a single table by adding aggregates of the other tables' columns as features. This approach is appealing because it directly benefits from improvements to or customization of the underlying tabul
