| Challenge: | Generating SQL queries from user utterances is an important task to help end users acquire information from databases. |
| Approach: | They propose a context-dependent text-to-SQL generation task that edits previous queries . they use an utterance-table encoder and a table-aware decoder to incorporate context . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is flexible to change individual tokens and robust to error propagation. |
