Foundation models show promise for credit risk prediction in small-data settings

A new research paper explores the application of foundation models, particularly those designed for tabular data, in the field of credit risk prediction. The study benchmarks these newer models against established machine learning techniques, including gradient-boosting models, across tasks like predicting default probabilities (PD) and loss given default (LGD). Findings indicate that tabular foundation models generally outperform competitors, especially in scenarios with limited data, such as SME lending, and without requiring extensive hyperparameter tuning.
