Apologies if I didn't understand the paper, but why do you want to apply diffusion models to tabular datasets in the first place?
Do we think they'll be better than decision trees? Is there some tabular problem that can be handled by diffusion but not trees?

- niksmather 4mo agoI can see the mathematical results are interesting, I was more wondering if there was a practical utility to this TreeFlow thing they built.
