New QCOC method boosts in-context learning for tabular data

Researchers have developed a novel method called Query-Calibrated Operator Compression (QCOC) to improve the efficiency of in-context learning for tabular data. QCOC addresses the accuracy-throughput tradeoff by compiling the full KV cache of in-context examples into a compact, shared memory across queries. This approach clusters example states into joint-KV prototypes, preserving essential information while significantly speeding up inference. Experiments on OpenML CC18 datasets demonstrate that QCOC achieves high accuracy comparable to full-context inference and offers substantial speedups over dynamic retrieval methods. AI

IMPACT Enables more efficient and accurate in-context learning for tabular data, potentially improving performance in applications relying on such data.

    Compile the Table: Query-Calibrated Operator Compression for Tabular In-Context Learning

    arXiv:2610.11784v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular in-context learning (ICL) has emerged as a training-free and accurate paradigm for tabular prediction, but current approaches to compressing its in-context examples face an accuracy-throughput tradeoff: fixed subsets can sac…
