WikipediaGS

Introduced by Vasilis Efthymiou et al. in Matching Web Tables with Knowledge Base Entities: From Entity Lookups to Entity Embeddings1 Oct 2017 archive 2025-07-28

The WikipediaGS dataset was created by extracting Wikipedia tables from Wikipedia pages. It consists of 485,096 tables which were annotated with DBpedia entities for the Cell Entity Annotation (CEA) task.

Additionally, a subset of these tables was annotated by Chen et al. for the Column Type Annotation (CTA) task and includes 604 tables, where selected columns were annotated using DBpedia types. This subset is available for download at their official Github repository.

The table below shows the number of annotated cells/columns for each task and the number of different classes used for the annotation.

Annotations Classes
CEA 4,453,329 1,222,358
CTA 620 31

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

All 2 leaderboards whose dataset resolves to this page shown (sort by any header). "First row" is the archive's own first row at snapshot, in the archive's row order; nothing here re-ranks and metric direction is not asserted.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

2 shown of 2 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 4. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
