DeepJoin: Joinable Table Discovery with Pre-trained Language Models
Summary: DeepJoin fine-tunes a PLM to embed textual columns into fixed-length vectors, unifying equi- and semantic join discovery. With ANN for sublinear, GPU-accelerated retrieval and data augmentation, DeepJoin outperforms prior approximate methods and beats expert-labeled semantic exact joins.
