DataXFormer: Leveraging the Web for Semantic Transformations

Summary: DataXFormer leverages Web tables and dynamically-wrapped Web forms to automatically discover explicit value-mapping reference datasets for semantic data transformations. Combines an inductive filter–refine search over web tables with dynamic form retrieval, covering >80% of real-world transformation queries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
