TableCopilot: A Table Assistant Empowered by Natural Language Conditional Table Discovery

Summary: TableCopilot introduces natural-language conditional table discovery (nlcTD), combining a user’s textual condition with a query table for interactive, personalized search over large table pools. Crofuma cross-fuses unimodal and cross-modal matching scores, improving NDCG@5 by at least 12% over single-input methods. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
