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.

The paper presents an iterative framework that uses large language models (LLMs) to automatically extract interpretable, schema‑bound categorical features from unstructured text for use in tabular prediction models. A generator LLM proposes semantic definitions, an extractor LLM materializes the features, and a downstream tabular model evaluates their predictive performance, with error‑driven natural‑language feedback guiding the search. Across three public datasets, the error‑driven loop speeds up feature discovery up to three times and the resulting features outperform any subset when combined with TF‑IDF and dense embeddings, while also providing instance‑level interpretability through SHAP importance rankings and a semantic audit trail.

The paper introduces VOLM, a framework that quantifies how much original value a human adds to a document beyond what a language model could generate from a task description alone. Unlike existing tools that focus on stylistic detection, VOLM extracts content at varying granularities, reconstructs it with an LLM, and compares these reconstructions to those derived from the task description. Evaluations across news articles, ICLR peer reviews, and argumentative essays show that VOLM can distinguish human-authored texts from LLM-generated ones while remaining robust to content-preserving transformations.

Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context.
