arXiv:2605. 28787v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In the era of autonomous agents, machine-actionable data is critical for data-driven workflows.
By Shiyu Chen, Tarfah Alrashed, Alon Halevy, Natasha Noy
arXiv:2607. 29677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata.

arXiv:2606. 13904v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Exploratory question answering (EQA) over data lakes requires an LLM agent to discover relevant sources, analyze retrieved data, and adapt its actions based on intermediate results.
