Researchers have developed TACTICL, a new framework designed to compress large foundation models used for tabular data tasks. This method selectively prunes transformer layers and replaces them with lightweight adapters trained for specific downstream tasks. Experiments on 47 benchmark datasets demonstrated that TACTICL can remove up to 85% of layers without significantly impacting performance on a given task, while also preserving the model's in-context learning capabilities and robustness to data shifts.
