• Abstract: Tables are widely used in documents because of their compact and structured representation of information. In particular, in scientific papers, tables can sum up novel discoveries and summarize experimental results, making the research comparable and easily understandable by scholars. Since the layout of tables is highly variable, it would be useful to interpret their content and classify them into categories. This could be helpful to directly extract information from scientific papers, for instance comparing performance of some models given their paper result tables. In this work, we address the classification of tables using a Graph Neural Network, exploiting the table structure for the message passing algorithm in use. We evaluate our model on a subset of the Tab2Know dataset. Since it contains few examples manually annotated, we propose data augmentation techniques directly on the table graph structures. We achieve promising preliminary results, proposing a data augmentation method suitable for graph-based table representation.

  Current chart-related tasks focus on either chart perception which refers to extracting information from the visual charts, or performing reasoning given the extracted data. In this paper, we aim to establish a unified and label-efficient learning paradigm for joint perception and reasoning tasks. Experiments are conducted on various chart-related tasks, demonstrating the effectiveness and promising potential for a unified chart perception-reasoning paradigm.

• 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.

  The task of natural language table retrieval seeks to retrieve semantically relevant tables based on natural language queries. Existing learning systems treat tables as plain text based on the assumption that tables are structured as dataframes. We propose Graph-based Table Retrieval (GTR), a generalizable NLTR framework with multi-granular graph representation learning.
