Language Models Enable Simple Systems for Generating Structured Views of Heterogeneous Data Lakes
Summary: Evaporate uses LLM in-context learning to turn heterogeneous documents into queryable structured views, comparing direct extraction with code synthesis. Code+ ensembles weakly supervised candidate extractors, surpassing prior systems while reducing LLM document processing by 110×. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
