提出FTAT方法,让表格数据模型在测试时自适应分布变化

Fully Test-time Adaptation for Tabular Data

  • 仅用测试数据动态调整模型,应对标签与特征分布漂移
  • 在6个基准数据集上显著优于现有最先进方法
  • 适用于多种任务和模型,提升测试阶段鲁棒性

表格数据在诸多现实场景中至关重要,尽管深度表格模型表现优异,但在测试分布发生变化时仍易性能下降。为解决此问题,需构建可在测试阶段自适应未知分布的鲁棒模型。本文研究表格数据的完全测试时自适应(FTTA)问题,即仅使用测试数据进行模型调整。我们识别出三大挑战:标签与协变量分布偏移、缺乏有效数据增强、以及适应过程敏感性,导致现有方法在表格数据上失效。为此,提出针对表格数据的完全测试时自适应方法FTAT,可有效优化预测标签分布,适应特征分布变化,并适配多种任务与模型。在六个基准数据集上,采用三项指标进行评估,结果表明FTAT显著优于现有最先进方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Tabular data plays a vital role in various real-world scenarios and finds extensive applications. Although recent deep tabular models have shown remarkable success, they still struggle to handle data distribution shifts, leading to performance degradation when testing distributions change. To remedy this, a robust tabular model must adapt to generalize to unknown distributions during testing. In this paper, we investigate the problem of fully test-time adaptation (FTTA) for tabular data, where the model is adapted using only the testing data. We identify three key challenges: the existence of label and covariate distribution shifts, the lack of effective data augmentation, and the sensitivity of adaptation, which render existing FTTA methods ineffective for tabular data. To this end, we propose the Fully Test-time Adaptation for Tabular data, namely FTAT, which enables FTTA methods to robustly optimize the label distribution of predictions, adapt to shifted covariate distributions, and suit a variety of tasks and models effectively. We conduct comprehensive experiments on six benchmark datasets, which are evaluated using three metrics. The experimental results demonstrate that FTAT outperforms state-of-the-art methods by a margin.
