| Challenge: | Recent work has investigated the capabilities of large language models (LLMs) as zero-shot models for generating individual-level characteristics. |
| Approach: | They conduct a large-scale empirical study of large language models’ zero-shot predictive capabilities across a wide range of tabular prediction tasks. |
| Outcome: | The results show that LLMs perform well on the base prediction task, and when they perform well, they are more likely to provide high-quality predictions. |
