EcoTable: Cost-effective Table Integration in Data Lakes for Natural Language Queries

Summary: EcoTable performs query-driven lake table integration: natural-language queries guide schema linking, Steiner-tree join discovery, and LLM-generated transformations. A lightweight join graph reduces LLM calls, improving accuracy by over 30% while cutting invocation costs 5×. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
