Extracting structured and quantitative insights from unstructured financial filings is essential in investment research, yet remains time-consuming and resource-intensive. Conventional approaches in practice rely heavily on labor-intensive…
Current Information Seeking (InfoSeeking) agents struggle to maintain focus and coherence during long-horizon exploration, as tracking search states, including planning procedure and massive search results, within one plain-text context is…
Graph partitioning has long been seen as a viable approach to address Graph DBMS scalability. A partitioning, however, may introduce extra query processing latency unless it is sensitive to a specific query workload, and optimised to…
In the fast-paced financial domain, accurate and up-to-date information is critical to addressing ever-evolving market conditions. Retrieving this information correctly is essential in financial Question-Answering (QA), since many language…
Automating table extraction (TE) from business documents is critical for industrial workflows but remains challenging due to sparse annotations and error-prone multi-stage pipelines. While semi-supervised learning (SSL) can leverage…
Understanding tables is an important aspect of natural language understanding. Existing models for table understanding require linearization of the table structure, where row or column order is encoded as an unwanted bias. Such spurious…
Extraction of transaction information from bank statements is required to assess one's financial well-being for credit rating and underwriting decisions. Unlike other financial documents such as tax forms or financial statements, extracting…
Table extraction is an important but still unsolved problem. In this paper, we introduce a flexible and modular table extraction system. We develop two rule-based algorithms that perform the complete table recognition process, including…
Tabular data is a crucial form of information expression, which can organize data in a standard structure for easy information retrieval and comparison. However, in financial industry and many other fields tables are often disclosed in…
Workbook-scale spreadsheet understanding is increasingly important for language-model-based data analysis agents, but remains challenging because relevant information is often distributed across multiple sheets with heterogeneous schemas,…
Tabular data in digital documents is widely used to express compact and important information for readers. However, it is challenging to parse tables from unstructured digital documents, such as PDFs and images, into machine-readable format…
Language models (LMs) are increasingly being deployed to perform autonomous data analyses. However, their data awareness -- the ability to recognize, reason over, and appropriately handle data artifacts such as missing values, outliers, and…
Table Structure Recognition is an essential part of end-to-end tabular data extraction in document images. The recent success of deep learning model architectures in computer vision remains to be non-reflective in table structure…
Current document chunking methods for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) typically linearize text. This forced linearization strips away intrinsic topological hierarchies, creating ``semantic fragmentation'' that degrades downstream…
Table extraction from PDF and image documents is a ubiquitous task in the real-world. Perfect extraction quality is difficult to achieve with one single out-of-box model due to (1) the wide variety of table styles, (2) the lack of training…
Data scientists are constantly facing the problem of how to improve prediction accuracy with insufficient tabular data. We propose a table enrichment system that enriches a query table by adding external attributes (columns) from data lakes…
Documents are core carriers of information and knowl-edge, with broad applications in finance, healthcare, and scientific research. Tables, as the main medium for structured data, encapsulate key information and are among the most critical…
Intelligent analysis and visualization of tables use techniques to automatically recommend useful knowledge from data, thus freeing users from tedious multi-dimension data mining. While many studies have succeeded in automating…
Spreadsheet manipulation software are widely used for data management and analysis of tabular data, yet the creation of conditional formatting (CF) rules remains a complex task requiring technical knowledge and experience with specific…
Tables have been an ever-existing structure to store data. There exist now different approaches to store tabular data physically. PDFs, images, spreadsheets, and CSVs are leading examples. Being able to parse table structures and extract…
