pTNAS: Progressive Neural Architecture Search for Tabular Data

ICML 2026poster

Recent advances have shifted the paradigm of tabular learning toward tabular foundation models, yet their accuracy relies on a heavy inference cost that scales poorly with context size. Deep neural networks remain a highly competitive and more efficient modeling paradigm when equipped with well-desi…

Investigating Pattern Neurons in Urban Time Series Forecasting

ICLR 2025poster

Urban time series forecasting is crucial for smart city development and is key to sustainable urban management. Although urban time series models (UTSMs) are effective in general forecasting, they often overlook low-frequency events, such as holidays and extreme weather, leading to degraded performa…

Adaptive Knowledge Driven Regularization for Deep Neural Networks

AAAI 2021technical

In many real-world applications, the amount of data available for training is often limited, and thus inductive bias and auxiliary knowledge are much needed for regularizing model training. One popular regularization method is to impose prior distribution assumptions on model parameters, and many re…
