• Abstract: High-quality Web tables are rich sources of information that can be used to populate Knowledge Graphs (KG). The focus of this paper is an evaluation of methods for table-to-class annotation, which is a sub-task of Table Interpretation (TI). We provide a formal definition for table classification as a machine learning task. We propose an experimental setup and we evaluate 5 fundamentally different approaches to find the best method for generating vector table representations. Our findings indicate that although transfer learning methods achieve high F1 score on the table classification task, dedicated table encoding models are a promising direction as they appear to capture richer semantics.

  We introduce UniTabNet, a novel framework for table structure parsing based on the image-to-text model. UniTabNet employs a divide-and-conquer'' strategy, utilizing an image-to-text model to decouple table cells and integrating both physical and logical decoders to reconstruct the complete table structure.

  We present a novel deep-learning-based method to cluster words in documents which we apply to detect and recognize tables given the OCR output. We interpret table structure bottom-up as a graph of relations between pairs of words and use a transformer encoder model to predict its adjacency matrix. Compared to the current state-of-the-art detection methods such as DETR and Faster R-CNN, our method achieves similar or better accuracy, while requiring a significantly smaller model.

• Table Retrieval May Not Necessitate Table-specific Model Design [83.27735758203089]
  We focus on the task of table retrieval, and ask: "is table-specific model design necessary for table retrieval?" Based on an analysis on a table-based portion of the Natural Questions dataset (NQ-table), we find that structure plays a negligible role in more than 70% of the cases. We then experiment with three modules to explicitly encode table structures, namely auxiliary row/column embeddings, hard attention masks, and soft relation-based attention biases. None of these yielded significant improvements, suggesting that table-specific model design may not be necessary for table retrieval.
