Synthesizing Mapping Relationships Using Table Corpus

Summary: Synthesizes mapping relationships from a large table corpus by extracting co-occurring column pairs; uses functional-dependency constraints for validation. Web tables and enterprise spreadsheets yield high-quality mappings (e.g., country-country-code, company-stock-ticker) for cleaning and data integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
