CSE Colloquium – Towards Relational Foundation Models: Zero-Shot Forecasting over Relational Databases
Engineering 2 Engineering 2 1156 High Street, Santa Cruz, CAPresenter: Charilaos I. Kanatsoulis, Stanford University Abstract: Foundation models have transformed unstructured domains such as language and vision, yet relational datasets, where most enterprise knowledge lives, still rely on brittle, task-specific ML pipelines. I will begin by introducing Relational Deep Learning (RDL), a general framework for learning directly from heterogeneous multi-table data, capturing structure across entities, attributes, […]
