• Abstract summary: We construct a hypergraph to model the cross-row and cross-column patterns of data instances. We then perform message propagation to enhance the target data instance representation. Experiments on two important data prediction tasks validate the superiority of the proposed PET model.

• Abstract: Prediction over tabular data is an essential and fundamental problem in many important downstream tasks. However, existing methods either take a data instance of the table independently as input or do not fully utilize the multi-rows features and labels to directly change and enhance the target data representations. In this paper, we propose to 1) construct a hypergraph from relevant data instance retrieval to model the cross-row and cross-column patterns of those instances, and 2) perform message Propagation to Enhance the target data instance representation for Tabular prediction tasks. Specifically, our specially-designed message propagation step benefits from 1) fusion of label and features during propagation, and 2) locality-aware high-order feature interactions. Experiments on two important tabular data prediction tasks validate the superiority of the proposed PET model against other baselines. Additionally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the model components and the feature enhancement ability of PET via various ablation studies and visualizations. The code is included in https://github.com/KounianhuaDu/PET.

  We propose Tabular data Pre-Training via Meta-representation (TabPTM) The core idea is to embed data instances into a shared feature space, where each instance is represented by its distance to a fixed number of nearest neighbors and their labels. Extensive experiments on 101 datasets confirm TabPTM's effectiveness in both classification and regression tasks, with and without fine-tuning.

  Large language models (LLMs) have been recently leveraged as training data generators for various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. We investigate training data generation with diversely attributed prompts, which have the potential to yield diverse and attributed generated data. We show that attributed prompts outperform simple class-conditional prompts in terms of the resulting model's performance.

Our framework contains two modules: 1) a backbone network (e.g., feedforward neural nets) as a lower model takes features as input and outputs predicted labels; 2) a graph neural network as an upper model learns to extrapolate embeddings for new features via message passing over a feature-data graph built from observed data.
