Scalable Column Concept Determination for Web Tables Using Large Knowledge Bases
Summary: Scalable MapReduce-based column concept determination for web tables via fuzzy matching to a large knowledge base. Proposes knowledge concept aggregation and knowledge entity partition; NP-hardness of optimal strategies; hierarchy-aware heuristics; shows strong annotation quality and scalability.
