The Importance of Encoder Choice:A Tabular-Image Study

View original on arxiv.org

Overview

arXiv:2607.07756v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal learning usually requires a dedicated encoder per modality. When a tabular modality is involved, prior work has been mostly using a \emph{plain MLP} as the encoder. Yet if it were a strong encoder, the tabular domain would not be ``the last unconquered castle for deep learning''. This study evaluates state-of-the-art tabular models as encoders in the image-tabular setting for the first time. An obstacle stands out. In-Context Learning mo
