| Challenge: | Existing text-to-SQL semantic parsers cannot achieve high accuracy in cross-database setting . TURING is a NLDB system that can be used to democratize data-driven insights for non-technical users . |
| Approach: | They propose a TURING system that provides high-precision natural language explanations of SQL queries in a beam. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system achieves 75.1% execution accuracy and 78.3% top-5 beam execution accuracy on the Spider validation set. |
Two Birds, One Stone: A Simple, Unified Model for Text Generation from Structured and Unstructured Data (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent studies have shown that simpler, properly tuned models are at least competitive across NLP tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a table-to-text and neural question generation tasks to generate text from structured and unstructured data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed task generates biographies based on Wikipedia infoboxes . the proposed model can achieve the state of the art in both tasks . |
