Table Semantics

Table semantics research focuses on understanding and utilizing the meaning and structure within tabular data, aiming to improve information extraction, question answering, and data integration across diverse sources. Current research emphasizes developing advanced models, including large language models (LLMs) and graph neural networks (GNNs), to handle complex table structures, heterogeneous data types, and the integration of tabular data with unstructured text. This field is crucial for advancing various applications, such as scientific data analysis, fact-checking, and building more robust and intelligent question-answering systems. The development of large-scale datasets and standardized evaluation metrics is also a significant area of ongoing work.
