Open Tabular Insight Extraction: Where Do We Stand, and Where Should We Go?

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.07629v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Democratizing access to the knowledge held in large corpora of tables such as data lakes is emerging as a central research challenge. Research in this space is advancing and broadening in scope, increasingly supplying the components to satisfy a person's insight need end-to-end. Yet these efforts remain fragmented across communities that frame the problem under their own conventions, such as table question answering, text-to-SQL, and data analysis agents, with works six times as likely to cite within the same task label as across labels. To bring these communities onto common ground, we establish a holistic framework for this pursuit, which we refer to as Open Tabular Insight Extraction (OpenTI). We formalize OpenTI from first principles ar
