AixelNet: A Pre-trained Model with Table-aware Adaptation for Structured Data Prediction

Summary: AixelNet: a pre-trained model for heterogeneous tabular prediction that extracts table-level meta-features and uses a multi-predictor backbone to avoid task-specific retraining. A hypernetwork dynamically composes base predictors per table, with regularizers for balanced/diverse usage and sparse updates for efficiency, improving accuracy on 40 tabular tasks versus eight SOTA baselines.
