Tables are powerful and versatile tools for organizing and presenting data. Tables may be viewed as complex information objects, which summarize existing information in a structured form. Therefore, for many information needs, returning tables as search results may be more helpful to users than serving a ranked list of items (documents or entities). We have a line of work, with Shuo Zhang, centered around utilizing (relational) tables as the unit of retrieval (published at WWW’18 and SIGIR’18). I presented our research at this interesting intersection of entity retrieval and data search in my keynote at the DATA:SEARCH’18 workshop at SIGIR’18 (slides are here).
