Gael Varoquaux says they are pushing further on the idea of bridging PFNs and LLMs for handling strings in tables.
He notes that only a little has been published so far, but the group is moving the idea forward.
- The motivation is to combine PFNs and LLMs for table string handling.
- He says NeurIPS reviewers were not very excited, partly because they don’t see why LLMs alone are insufficient.
- The thread suggests the work is still early, with more to come.
