TabNet is a deep tabular data learning architecture that uses sequential attention to choose which features to reason from at each decision step.

The TabNet encoder is composed of a feature transformer, an attentive transformer and feature masking. A split block divides the processed representation to be used by the attentive transformer of the subsequent step as well as for the overall output. For each step, the feature selection mask provides interpretable information about the model’s functionality, and the masks can be aggregated to obtain global feature important attribution. The TabNet decoder is composed of a feature transformer block at each step.

In the feature transformer block, a 4-layer network is used, where 2 are shared across all decision steps and 2 are decision step-dependent. Each layer is composed of a fully-connected (FC) layer, BN and GLU nonlinearity. An attentive transformer block example – a single layer mapping is modulated with a prior scale information which aggregates how much each feature has been used before the current decision step. sparsemax is used for normalization of the coefficients, resulting in sparse selection of the salient features.

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (29 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
