Tabular foundation models can learn association rules out of the box! For the non-expert: If you work with tables and want to discover interesting patterns, tabular foundation models (TFMs) can quickly find significant, interesting, and generalizable patterns with no additional training. 🧵1/7

I'm excited to present our new method for enhancing knowledge discovery from tabular data using tabular foundation models at the #ECAI2025 conference workshops (ANSyA) this Sunday, October 26th. See our paper, Discovering Association Rules in High-Dimensional Small Tabular Data, below 👇. 🧵1/2

Tabular foundation models can boost knowledge discovery from high-dimensional tabular data with few instances (e.g., gene expression or rare disease data, 1K+ columns and <100 rows)! 📄 Short Paper (Accepted at ECAI 2025 workshops, ANSyA): arxiv.org/pdf/2509.20113 🐍 Code: tinyurl.com/3z8cmuhw 🧵1/8
