Qualitative Join Discovery in Data Lakes using Examples

Summary: QbE join discovery for schema/metadata-poor data lakes: SemDisc finds hybrid join paths mixing equi- and semantic joins from a few example values. Key novelty is supporting intermediate non-overlapping tables while guaranteeing example containment, with index-backed path search and >3x precision gains. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Apr 11 2026)
