Embedding World Knowledge into Tabular Models: Towards Best Practices for Embedding Pipeline Design

Oksana Kolomenko, Ricardo Knauer, Erik Rodner

Embeddings are a powerful way to enrich data-driven machine learning models with the world knowledge of large language models (LLMs). Yet, there is limited evidence on how to desig…

"Oh LLM, I'm Asking Thee, Please Give Me a Decision Tree": Zero-Shot Decision Tree Induction and Embedding with Large Language Models

Ricardo Knauer, Mario Koddenbrock, Raphael Wallsberger +5

Large language models (LLMs) provide powerful means to leverage prior knowledge for predictive modeling when data is limited. In this work, we demonstrate how LLMs can use their co…

Cost-Sensitive Best Subset Selection for Logistic Regression: A Mixed-Integer Conic Optimization Perspective

Ricardo Knauer, Erik Rodner

A key challenge in machine learning is to design interpretable models that can reduce their inputs to the best subset for making transparent predictions, especially in the clinical…
