Cross Modal Data Discovery over Structured and Unstructured Data Lakes
Summary: CMDL enables discovery across structured tables and unstructured documents via a multi-modal embedding that aligns text with tabular columns while preserving table structure. Weakly supervised, domain-agnostic training; outperforms search baselines and structured-only methods on three real-world data lakes.
