Abstract
According to implementations of the present disclosure, there is provided a solution for auto-formatting of a data table. A computer-implemented method comprises obtaining values of at least one attribute for a plurality of cells in a data table, the values of the at least one attribute indicating at least one of a semantic meaning of data filled in the cells or a structure of the data table, the cells being arranged in rows and columns in the data table; extracting a feature representation of the values of the at least one attribute In using a first learning network; and determining respective formats for the cells based on the feature representation using at least the first learning network. In this way, it is possible to implement automatic mapping from attribute settings of cells to cell formats by using a learning network, thereby achieving auto-formatting of the data table.
