FIRE: Multi-fidelity Regression with Distribution-conditioned In-context Learning using Tabular Foundation Models

ICML 2026spotlight

Multi-fidelity (MF) regression often operates in regimes of extreme data imbalance, where the commonly-used Gaussian-process surrogates struggle with cubic scaling costs and overfit to sparse high-fidelity observations, limiting efficiency and generalization in real-world applications. We introduce …
