New interfaces enhance tabular foundation models for time-to-event prediction

Researchers have developed new adaptation interfaces to improve the performance of tabular foundation models (TabFMs) in time-to-event prediction tasks. These interfaces address the challenges of handling censored data and event-time dynamics, building upon prior work by integrating TabFMs with established methods like CoxPH and DeepHit. The study evaluated various adaptation strategies, including temporal zero-shot reformulation, classification-based fine-tuning, and survival-head adaptation, across numerous datasets. Results indicate that while zero-shot inference is effective for smaller datasets, supervised adaptation becomes more advantageous as data size increases, with CoxPH generally providing the most reliable interface for larger datasets.

    Adaptation Interfaces for In-Context Tabular Foundation Models in Time-to-Event Prediction

    arXiv:2609.04901v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Tabular foundation models (TabFMs) achieve strong performance on structured data, particularly for standard classification and regression problems. Yet, extending them to censored time-to-event prediction is challenging because it…
