arXiv:2608. 13023v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational Deep Learning (RDL) models multi-tabular databases as temporal heterogeneous graphs to enable end-to-end representation learning.
arXiv:2606. 28916v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We introduce GRAB, a constructor-encoder-bridge pipeline for table question answering.
arXiv:2606. 08491v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational deep learning (RDL) converts relational databases (RDBs) into heterogeneous graphs, but graphs derived directly from database schemas are often not well suited for how graph neural networks (GNNs) perform relational reasoning.
arXiv:2606. 03040v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Relational databases underpin modern enterprise, scientific, and healthcare systems, yet predictive machine learning on such data remains challenging due to their multi-table, heterogeneous, and temporal structure.
arXiv:2607. 03659v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Relational databases (RDBs) are the primary data infrastructure in many enterprises, yet recent deep learning methods designed for RDBs have been evaluated under inconsistent experimental protocols, making fair comparison difficult.
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.
