Researchers have introduced a novel approach called In-Table Prediction (ITP) for tabular deep learning, focusing on learning relationships between columns within a dataset rather than predicting a single target feature. This self-supervised method masks arbitrary columns to serve as learning targets, with a new neural layer designed to handle both numerical and missing values. Evaluations using synthetic data indicate that Transformer-based architectures outperform MLPs and ResNets for ITP, particularly with sufficient training data and embedding length, though these findings are preliminary and specific to controlled, synthetic conditions.
