Recommending Related Tables

Understand

Tables are an extremely powerful visual and interactive tool for structuring and manipulating data, making spreadsheet programs one of the most popular computer applications.

• One of the many possible application scenarios for this task is to provide users of a spreadsheet program proactively with recommendations for related structured content on the Web.
• At its core, the related table recommendation task boils down to computing the similarity between a pair of tables.
