About this paper

Xian Yeow Lee, Ryoichi Takase, Ahmed Farahat

The authors test whether off-the-shelf TabPFN predicts dynamics from recent transitions without task-specific weight updates. It treats state and action as inputs and state change as the target, then adds predicted change to the current state. With at least 10 transitions, it beats freshly trained neural baselines on one-step prediction, but only long-context HalfCheetah rollouts beat persistence and a full-data LSTM.
