RACT: Retrieval Augmented Column-Table Learning and Prediction for Multi-Table Schema Matching
arXiv:2606.07843v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Schema matching, a critical task for integrating data from diverse sources, seeks to identify correspondences between columns across different schemas. In multi-table holistic schema matching, columns with similar semantic meaning may reside in tables with different contexts due to heterogeneous schema designs, where similarity-based techniques are inadequate. The focus of this paper is exploiting referential context into schema matching by introducing RACT learning and prediction, a self-supervised framework enabling the probabilistic retrieva
The proliferation of fragmented, heterogeneous data sources necessitates more sophisticated and autonomous methods for data integration, pushing the boundaries of AI-driven schema matching.
Improved schema matching, especially in multi-table contexts, enables more efficient and accurate data integration, which is critical for advanced analytics, AI model training, and enterprise data management.
This research introduces a self-supervised framework that leverages probabilistic retrieval and referential context, moving beyond similarity-based techniques to address complex real-world data integration challenges.
