TableDC: Deep Clustering for Tabular Data

Summary: TableDC applies deep clustering to tabular data, learning embeddings for schemas, rows, and domains. It blends Mahalanobis distance with a heavy-tailed Cauchy kernel to handle overlap/outliers and scales to many clusters for data integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
