RECA: Related Tables Enhanced Column Semantic Type Annotation Framework

Summary: RECA: a related-tables-based column semantic type annotation framework that aligns schema-similar, topic-relevant tables via a novel named-entity schema to incorporate inter-table context and naturally handle wide tables. Outperforms prior art on two web-table datasets (support-weighted F1 0.853/0.937; macro F1 0.674/0.783). (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
