WebTables: Exploring the Power of Tables on the Web

Summary: WebTables builds a web-scale corpus of 154M relational tables from 14.1B HTML pages, each a tiny database. It introduces AcsDB for corpus-wide attribute co-occurrence, enabling better search and tools like auto-complete, synonyms, and join traversal. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
