RECA: Related Tables Enhanced Column Semantic Type Annotation Framework
Summary: RECA annotates column semantic types by aligning schema-similar, topic-relevant tables via a novel named-entity schema. Its architecture naturally scales to wide tables while exploiting inter-table context, substantially outperforming prior methods on web-table benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
