Annotating Columns with Pre-trained Language Models

Summary: Doduo, a multi-task framework using pre-trained language models, annotates table columns and their relations from the table. Achieves SOTA on two benchmarks for column types and relations, with up to 4.0% and 11.9% gains, using 8 tokens per column. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
