New AI model TabPFN enables faster and more accurate predictions on small tabular data sets

A team has developed a new method that facilitates and improves predictions of tabular data, especially for small data sets with fewer than 10,000 data points. The new AI model TabPFN is trained on synthetically generated data before it is used and thus learns to evaluate possible causal relationships and use them for predictions.

Filling gaps in data sets or identifying outliers—that’s the domain of the machine learning algorithm TabPFN, developed by a team led by Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter from the University of Freiburg. This artificial intelligence (AI) uses learning methods inspired by large language models. TabPFN learns causal relationships from synthetic data and is therefore more likely to make correct predictions than the standard algorithms that have been used up t…
