GQLBench: A Large-Scale Cross-Domain, Cross-Dialect Benchmark for NL2GQL (2026.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| 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. |

| Challenge: | Evaluations in machine learning rarely use the latest metrics, datasets, or human evaluation in favor of remaining compatible with prior work. |
| Approach: | They propose to use the Generation, Evaluation, and Metrics Benchmark to integrate new evaluation methods into existing evaluations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed evaluation infrastructure bridges the gap between the advantages of leaderboards and in-depth and evolving evaluations by allowing model developers to benefit from each other's work. |
