9:30-10:00 am: "TorchicTab: Semantic Table Annotation with Wikidata and Language Models" by Ioannis Dasoulas
Abstract: An abundance of tabular data exists and is used by a wide range of applications. However, a big portion of these data lack the semantic information necessary for users and machines to properly understand them. This lack of table semantic understanding impedes their usage in data analytics pipelines. Existing solutions are focused on specific annotation tasks and types of tables, and rely solely on large knowledge bases, making it difficult to re-use in real-world settings. In this talk, we present TorchicTab, a versatile semantic table interpretation system able to annotate tables with varied structures by using either an external knowledge graph, such as Wikidata, or annotated tables with pre-defined terms for training. The results demonstrate TorchicTab’s ability to produce accurate annotations for different tasks across varied datasets.
