Challenge: despite growing interest in NL2GQL, benchmarking progress has been constrained by the lack of resources that are simultaneously large-scale, cross-domain, and cross-dialect.
Approach: They propose a framework that integrates NL2SQL-to-NL2GQL conversion with graph-native data generation.
Outcome: The proposed framework supports execution-based evaluation on Cypher and ISO-GQL, covering hundreds of graph databases and over 20k natural language questions for each dialect.
