What changed
Applied Transformer layers to categorical-column embeddings, combined contextual outputs with continuous features in an MLP and studied masked/replaced-feature pretraining when labeled data are scarce.
Scientific scope
Applied Transformer layers to categorical-column embeddings, combined contextual outputs with continuous features in an MLP and studied masked/replaced-feature pretraining when labeled data are scarce. Original continuous inputs bypass the categorical attention stack, unlike later all-feature tokenizers. Missing/noisy-feature robustness and mean-AUC gains are limited to studied datasets/settings, not causal interpretation or universal superiority. General tabular architecture only; no biomedical dataset outcome is added.
