  "summary": "Matrix completion underlies problems from tabular imputation to causal inference, yet existing tabular foundation models treat it as entry-by-entry prediction, repeating context for every target and discarding the matrix's two-dimensional structure. We introduce MatrixFormer, a pre-trained matrix-native transformer that predicts a full distribution for every missing entry in a single forward…",
