Solo: Data Discovery Using Natural Language Questions Via A Self-Supervised Approach
Summary: Solo enables natural-language data discovery with self-supervised training, no labeled data needed. It develops self-supervised data generation, table representations, and relevance models for end-to-end learned discovery that outperforms baselines. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
