Researchers have introduced DistPFN, a novel method to address label shift in tabular foundation models like TabPFN. This technique adjusts predictions at test time by re-weighting the influence of training data's class distribution and the model's own posterior probabilities. An enhanced version, DistPFN-T, further refines this by using temperature scaling to adapt the adjustment strength based on discrepancies between these distributions. Evaluations across numerous datasets show significant performance gains for TabPFN models under label shift conditions, while preserving performance in standard settings. AI
