Researchers have developed TYTAN, a system designed to automatically construct analytic semantic schemas from relational databases. This system combines symbolic database analysis with large language model (LLM) semantic inference to identify real-world entities, assign column roles, and generate names. When faced with ambiguity, TYTAN poses targeted natural-language questions to the user for clarification. Evaluations on eight databases demonstrated TYTAN's ability to achieve 100% coverage of entities and features, ensure 100% correctness in data retrieval instructions, and accurately characterize semantic roles with 92-100% agreement.
