InfoGather+: Semantic Matching and Annotation of Numeric and Time-Varying Attributes in Web Tables
Summary: Builds a semantic graph labeling numeric/time-varying columns with unit, scale, and timestamp, enabling cross-table matching across units and scales. Proposes an entity-augmentation API and a joint probabilistic graphical model that uses web-table signals to infer labels from missing headers and match semantics, achieving higher precision/recall.
