Recovering Semantics of Tables on the Web

Summary: A system annotates Web tables with column classes and binary relationships mined from a broad but noisy Web-derived knowledge base. Its formal evidence model outperforms majority voting, enabling substantially better table search and related-table discovery. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
