Reading Group: LLMs for Tabular Data

While Large Language Models (LLMs) and video generation are currently getting a lot of exposure, a significant share of the world’s data still sits in tables such as Excel spreadsheets. This session’s paper is a survey of how we may be able to use the breakthroughs from LLMs to make predictions on tabular data.

Paper: “Large Language Models (LLMs) on Tabular Data: Prediction, Generation, and Understanding — A Survey”
Link: https://arxiv.org/abs/2402.17944

Please try to read at least some of the paper. These discussions are most interesting when many attendees have spent time with the topic beforehand. The goal of the event is for us all to meet and learn from each other.
