Tables are ubiquitous across diverse domains, yet reasoning over them remains a significant challenge for modern large language models (LLMs). Current approaches typically linearize tables into sequen...

PARTAB is a framework that improves large language model reasoning on tables by constructing a structured evidence interface. It represents query‑relevant evidence as semantically coherent, row‑linked table regions and performs hierarchical selection over column groups and row‑level partitions before composing the evidence for answer generation. Evaluations on multiple table reasoning benchmarks show that PARTAB consistently outperforms full‑table prompting and recent methods, achieving strong performance on WikiTableQuestions and TabFact while remaining competitive on numerical reasoning tasks.

The paper introduces Table Graph Reasoner (TabGR), a model that represents tables as an Attributed Table Graph (ATG) to preserve row-column-cell structure and enable graph-based reasoning without task-specific training. It also proposes a Question-Guided Personalized PageRank (QG-PPR) mechanism to rerank tabular data and address the lost-in-the-middle issue. Experiments on multiple table reasoning benchmarks show that TabGR outperforms state-of-the-art models by up to 9.7% in accuracy.

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in table reasoning, but their effectiveness degrades as tables grow in size and complexity due to irrelevant context and difficulty localizi...
arXiv:2605. 20254v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promising results on NLP tasks, however, their performance on tabular data still needs research attention, because Table Question-Answering (TQA) requires precise cell retrieval and multi-step structured reasoning.

arXiv:2606. 17856v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Graph-based retrieval-augmented generation (GraphRAG) is effective for knowledge-intensive and multi-hop query tasks; however, many existing methods primarily seed entity-based graphs and rely on implicit semantic relevance propagation.
