Annotating and Searching Web Tables Using Entities, Types and Relationships

Summary: Annotates web tables with entities, types, and relations using a joint graphical model to label cells and columns simultaneously. Demonstrates gains in relational Web search over text-only indexing on 25M+ HTML tables using YAGO/DBpedia/Wikipedia. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
