LLMs fail at industrial table classification: Prompt or fine-tuning issue?

The author built a pipeline to normalize industrial communication manuals using LLMs for table classification and column mapping. Tests showed Fireworks Qwen 3.7 Plus struggled with exhaustive column mapping (F1=50%), often omitting columns or misclassifying fields like bitoffset as address. Local 4B models performed better on mapping. The author discusses whether this is a prompt/schema issue or requires fine-tuning, noting interactions between constrained decoding and reasoning modes.
