Structured Prediction for Scalable Spreadsheet Table Understanding: From Cell Types to Table Ranges (Extended Version)

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.16050v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Spreadsheets are a primary medium for publishing tabular data, yet automatically extracting structured content from them remains difficult due to heterogeneous layouts, diverse file formats, and inconsistent organizational conventions. We address two core tasks in spreadsheet understanding: Cell-Type Classification (CTC), which assigns roles to cells, and Table Detection (TD), which identifies table bounding boxes within sheets. We propose an eff
