On Schema Matching with Opaque Column Names and Data Values

Summary: Opaque column names and data values tackled with a two-step scheme: compute mutual-information correlations to build a dependency graph. Graph matching then aligns nodes; experiments show utility as a semi-automatic complement when traditional name/domain cues fail. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
