Answering Table Augmentation Queries from Unstructured Lists on the Web [Extended Abstract]

Summary: An unsupervised system augments tables from a few example rows by retrieving, segmenting, schema-mapping, and consolidating noisy Web lists. Novel statistical ranking reconstructs target relations from arbitrary schemas without supervision, achieving strong results on Wikipedia tables. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
