Researchers have developed new methods to adapt prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) for anomaly detection in tabular data. The study, which began by using frozen TabPFN features, found that scoring samples by their distance to nearest neighbors in feature space yielded strong results. Further improvements were achieved by fine-tuning the model using a reference set, enabling features to better distinguish normal samples from anomalies. These approaches, named ZEN (fine-tuning free) and FOCUS (fine-tuned), both outperformed existing baselines on the ADBench benchmark, demonstrating effectiveness even when reference data contains undetected anomalies.
