Researchers have developed a novel two-stage adapter to improve the economic validity of tabular foundation models used for discrete choice prediction. These models, while accurate, often produce predictions that contradict economic principles, such as increasing demand with higher prices. The proposed adapter first estimates a choice model with parameters adhering to economic theory and then trains a correction term that integrates the foundation model's predictions. This approach ensures economic consistency, like monotonic price-demand relationships, while retaining the accuracy gains of the foundation models, outperforming standard models and conventional distillation methods on transportation datasets.
