Table Representation Learning using Heterogeneous Graph Embedding

KmerAI Talk #02 with Willy Carlos Tchuitcheu, PhD student at VUB, Brussels.
About the Guest:
Willy Carlos Tchuitcheu is a PhD student at VUB Brussels, working in the Mathematics and Data Science lab under the supervision of Dr. Tan Lu and Professor Ann Dooms. His research areas include: Graph ML, NLP and Joint Visual Language modeling.
Topic: Table Representation Learning using Heterogeneous Graph Embedding
Willy will discuss the challenges of extracting semantic information from tables with complex layouts and will introduce a new framework called Graph-based Table Representation Learning (GTRL). GTRL combines graph-based visual modeling with sequence-based language modeling to learn detailed per-cell embeddings that capture the semantic meaning within the table context. Empirical evaluations on two datasets will show that GTRL achieves competitive performance whilst requiring reduced computational complexity compared to existing table representation models.
