EquiTabPFN: A Target-Permutation Equivariant Prior Fitted Networks

Michael Arbel, David Salinas, Frank Hutter

Recent foundational models for tabular data, such as TabPFN, excel at adapting to new tasks via in-context learning, but remain constrained to a fixed, pre-defined number of target…

Tuning LLM Judge Design Decisions for 1/1000 of the Cost

David Salinas, Omar Swelam, Frank Hutter

Evaluating Large Language Models (LLMs) often requires costly human annotations. To address this, LLM-based judges have been proposed, which compare the outputs of two LLMs enablin…
