For those curious about what we have been up to on the topic of tabular learning, we have found a setting where deep learning does seem to bring sizable benefits (spoiler alert, it&amp;#x27;s about being able to pre-train, and transferring to new data works best when there are some strings to be recognized): https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.16785 In the above work, pre-trained tabular models markedly outperform tree-based models (including catboost, which is a very strong baseline). As someone who has been banging on tabular data for years, I&amp;#x27;m really excited…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/2402.16785/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
