LakeQA: An Exploratory QA Benchmark over a Million-Scale Data Lake

arXiv:2606. 10460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) have shown rapid progress in reading-based question answering (QA), where evidence is explicitly provided or can be trivially retrieved.

PARTAB: Partition-Aware Reasoning with Structured Evidence for Scalable Table Understanding

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.

From Storage to Access: Verifiable Activation of Parametric Knowledge in LLMs via Explicit Priming and Implicit Reasoning

The paper introduces VAKE, a two‑stage reinforcement‑learning framework that activates latent factual knowledge in large language models. In the Priming stage, the model explicitly inserts bridging triples into an insufficient subgraph, guided by rewards from a frozen model’s answers. The Reasoning stage then trains the model to answer from the original input, demonstrating that the elicitation capability transfers to implicit reasoning and consistently outperforms baselines across multiple benchmarks and model sizes.
