I have a huge set of html files an have to retrieve the meaningful information from them. Most of the task is accomplished, now the problem is with HTML tables.

I have some literature on how to extract meaningful tables from html, but my problem is with creating meaningful sentences from tabular data (or attribute value pairs extracted from a table).

Are there any NLP/Machine learning techniques to do this?

Here is what I expect. Suppose below is a sample table:

col_Name:   Sumeet
col_year:   2011
col_winner: quiz

Can this be made to something meaningful like "Sumeet won quiz in 2011"?
