Practical AI systems increasingly need to turn long, heterogeneous documents into queryable relational databases, not isolated spreadsheets. In domains such as finance, healthcare, education, transportation, and enterprise operations, downstream workflows rely on normalized schemas, entity identities, keys, cross-table relationships, and integrity constraints for analytics, compliance, auditing, and SQL-backed decision making.
arXiv:2502. 11201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NoSQL databases are core data infrastructure, yet natural-language access to them remains underdeveloped: correct query generation must recover how a non-relational data model represents entities, nested paths, arrays, missing fields, and dynamic keys.

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:2603. 18652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliably extracting tables from PDFs is essential for large-scale scientific data mining and knowledge base construction, yet existing evaluation approaches rely on rule-based metrics that fail to capture semantic equivalence of table content.

Transforming table-form documents into machine-processable records requires recovering not only their visible content but also the multilevel structure that organizes it. However, existing benchmarks evaluate either holistic document outputs or conventional table grids, and their aggregate scores provide little insight into where structural failures occur.
arXiv:2608. 08056v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical data, by its nature, exhibit a high degree of heterogeneity on multiple levels ranging from (a) different modalities like images, text and time series, (b) diverse tabular schemata introduced by institutions and (c) completely unstructured textual information data provided by healthcare professionals.

arXiv:2607. 21610v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Schema graphs are an upstream bottleneck of schema-grounded information extraction and knowledge graph construction, yet most extraction systems assume the schema is already available.

arXiv:2605. 05811v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: 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, layouts, and implicit relationships.
