TL;DR

TABERTA is presented, a unified retrieval framework for dataset discovery that adapts a bi-encoder language model to relational data by fine-tuning it on serialized representations of tables by fine-tuning the language encoder to diverse structural patterns using optimized strategies that serialize schema and table content.

NOAH: A System For Analyzing Non-relational Tables With Natural Language

Non-relational tables, such as spreadsheets and web tables, are widely used to store structured data, yet they are primarily designed for human reading rather than machine-driven analysis. These tables often contain hierarchical headers, merged cells, and implicit spatial semantics, making it difficult for large langua...

MDB-Link: Hierarchical Schema Linking for Multi-Database Text-to-SQL

This work proposes MDB-Link, a hierarchical schema-linking framework that retrieves question-relevant columns from a global index, aggregates retrieval evidence to shortlist databases, and uses a budget-aware large language model (LLM) for database reranking, table selection, and column grounding.

Augmenting Datasets for Fine-Tuning Large Language Models Using Semantic Variations

This study explores a semantic variation methodology to augment training data by generating question-answer pairs with explicit control over semantic similarity, and shows that semantically controlled augmentation improves domain-specific knowledge acquisition while preserving consistency.

Discovery-Driven Integration of Disjoint Tables via Text

Comprehensive evaluations on real-world benchmarks demonstrate that LOKI consistently outperforms state-of-the-art multi-modal data discovery approaches, and materializes typed integrated tables with 0.982 macro typed-pair precision while being up to 40 times cheaper in LLM API cost than direct prompting.

JoinGR: Learning to Traverse Join Graphs for Table Retrieval

Retrieving the right tables is a prerequisite for Text-to-SQL over realistic databases. Dense table retrievers rank schema elements independently, but this ignores a key source of evidence: some required tables are not mentioned in the question and become identifiable only through their join relationships to already re...
