What Really Matters for Table LLMs? A Meta-Evaluation of Model and Data Effects

Naihao Deng, Sheng Zhang, Henghui Zhu +7

Table modeling has progressed for decades. In this work, we revisit this trajectory and highlight emerging challenges in the LLM era, particularly the paradox of choice: the diffic…
