However, DNNs still lag behind Gradient Boosting Decision Trees (GBDT) on tabular data, a format extensively utilized across various domains. In this paper, we propose DOFEN, short for \\textbf{D}eep \\textbf{O}blivious \\textbf{F}orest \\textbf{EN}semble, a novel DNN architecture inspired by oblivious decision trees. DOFEN constructs relaxed oblivious decision trees (rODTs) by randomly combining conditions for each column and further enhances performance with a two-level rODT forest ensembling process. By employing this approach, DOFEN achieves state-of-the-art results among DNNs and further narrows the gap between DNNs and tree-based models on the well-recognized benchmark: Tabular Benchmark \\citep{grinsztajn2022tree}, which includes 73 total datasets spanning a wide array of domains. The code of DOFEN is available at: \\url{https://github.com/Sinopac-Digital-Technology-Division/DOFEN}.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.16534v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.16534v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"dofen-deep-oblivious-forest-ensemble","repo_url":"https://github.com/sinopac-digital-technology-division/dofen","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2412.16534","mcp":{"get_harvested_code_for_paper":{"arxiv_id":"2412.16534"}},"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers","read_at":"2026-09-24T18:15:14+00:00","read_at_is":"when the build read Syntology's graph, not when any sample ran","claim":"Per-sample execution status on synthesized fixtures; not a correctness claim about the paper.
