Deep learning models for tabular data continue to improve. What are the latest methods and recent progress?
Let’s have a look ↓
1) Wide&Deep jointly trains wide linear models and deep neural networks to combine the benefits of memorization and generalization for real-world recommender systems. The model was productionized and evaluated on Google Play.
2) TaBERT is a pretrained LM that jointly learns representations for natural language sentences and (semi-)structured tables. TaBERT works well for semantic parsing and is trained on a large corpus of 26 million tables and their English contexts.
3) TabTransformer is a deep tabular data modeling architecture for supervised and semi-supervised learning. It is built upon self-attention based Transformers. The model learns robust contextual embeddings to achieve higher prediction accuracy.
4) SAINT is a recent hybrid deep learning approach for tabular data. It performs attention over both rows and columns, and it includes an enhanced embedding method. It outperforms gradient boosting methods like CatBoost on a variety of benchmark tasks.
5) FT-Transformer is a Transformer-based architecture for the tabular domain. The model transforms all features (categorical and numerical) to tokens and runs a stack of Transformer layers over the tokens. It outperforms other DL models on several tasks.
To track the latest deep learning models applied to tabular data here is an extended list of methods, including associated papers, open source codes, benchmark datasets, and trends.
We release our initial paper below. We train on a large scientific corpus of papers, reference material, knowledge bases and many other sources. Includes scientific text and also scientific modalities such as proteins, compounds and more.
Here is a thread to catchup on the top 10 trending papers of August on @paperswithcode.
1) An Image is Worth One Word - a new approach that allows for more creative freedom with image generation; proposes "textual inversions" to find pseudo-words that compose new sentences that guide personalized creations.
2) Cold Diffusion - proposes diffusion models built around arbitrary image transformations without Gaussian noise; discusses the potential for generalized diffusion models that invert arbitrary processes.

1) N-Grammer (Roy et al.) - takes inspiration from statistical language modeling and augments Transformers with latent n-grams; it matches strong baseline models like Transformer and Primer while being faster in inference.
2) Language Models (Mostly) Know What They Know (Kadavath et al.) - investigates whether an LM can be trained to perform well at predicting which questions it will be able to answer correctly; this enables self-evaluation on open-ended sampling tasks.
Here is a thread to catchup on the top 10 trending papers of June on @paperswithcode. ↓
1️⃣ Mask DINO (Li et al) - extends DINO (DETR with Improved Denoising Anchor Boxes) with a mask prediction branch to support image segmentations tasks (instance, panoptic, and semantic).
2️⃣ Hopular (Schäfl et al) - proposes a deep learning architecture based on continuous Hopfield networks for competitive results on small-sized tabular datasets.
Here is a thread to catchup on the top 10 trending papers of May on @paperswithcode. 1/11
1⃣ OPT (Zhang et al) - release open pre-trained transformer language models ranging from 125M to 175B parameters. The release include: logbook detailing infrastructure challenges and code to experiment with the released models. 2/11
2⃣ CoCa (Yu et al) - a new foundation model that achieves new state-of-the-art on ImageNet (90.6%); proposes minimal strategy to jointly pre-train an image-text encoder decoder with contrastive loss and captioning loss. 3/11
In this thread, we summarize ten recent trends and insights in language models. ↓
1) Scaling Laws
Kaplan et al. report that language models (LMs) performance improves smoothly when increasing model size, dataset size, and compute. Recent works provide empirical evidence that LMs are underexplored and can be improved in other ways.
Hoffmann et al find that large LMs are undertrained and that for a compute-optimal model, Chinchilla, model size & number of training tokens should be scaled equally. Chinchilla (70B) outperforms Gopher (280B) on several tasks.
