Synthesis Without Training: An Inference-Only Pipeline for Tabular, Temporal, and Relational Synthetic Data

GENSCRIPT is an inference‑only pipeline that generates synthetic data without training a generative model. It creates a deterministic statistical profile of the source data, uses a language model to infer field semantics and cross‑column constraints, and then compiles these into an executable sampler that works for single‑table, temporal, and relational data. The method builds generators in minutes, samples large datasets quickly, and achieves fidelity comparable to leading methods while preserving key data relationships such as 1‑to‑1 mappings and primary‑foreign key constraints.

Beyond Quacking: Deep Integration of Language Models and RAG into DuckDB

The paper introduces FlockMTL, an extension for database management systems that deeply integrates large language models and retrieval‑augmented generation into DuckDB. It provides model‑driven scalar and aggregate functions, cost‑based optimizations like batching and caching, and new SQL DDL abstractions (PROMPT and MODEL) to treat LLMs as first‑class schema objects. These features aim to simplify the development of knowledge‑intensive analytical applications by reducing the effort required to orchestrate heterogeneous data systems and manage LLM context.

RelICL: Training-free Relational Learning with Tabular Foundation Models

RelICL: Training-free Relational Learning with Tabular Foundation Models proposes a new method for relational learning that addresses two key issues of deep feature synthesis—feature explosion and interaction blindness—by propagating and fusing information step by step through the schema graph using a tabular foundation model. The approach retains the benefits of DFS while improving scalability and performance. Experiments on RelBench tasks show that RelICL performs on par with the strongest DFS-based approach.
