Senbazuru: A Prototype Spreadsheet Database Management System

Summary: Senbazuru is a prototype spreadsheet DBMS that probabilistically extracts relational schemas from unstructured spreadsheets, enabling corpus search, relational operations, and cross-spreadsheet joins. Its distinctive contribution is bridging ad hoc spreadsheet data with relational integration through interactive Web and touch interfaces. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
