Popis: Self-supervised learning on tabular data seeks to apply advances from natural language and image domains to the diverse domain of tables. However, current techniques often struggle with integrating multi-domain data and require data cleaning or specific structural requirements, limiting the scalability of pre-training datasets. We introduce PORTAL (Pretraining One-Row-at-a-Time for All tabLes), a framework that handles various data modalities without the need for cleaning or preprocessing. This simple yet powerful approach can be effectively pre-trained on online-collected datasets and fine-tuned to match state-of-the-art methods on complex classification and regression tasks. This work offers a practical advancement in self-supervised learning for large-scale tabular data.
