The article introduces Guided Merge Sort, an optimized sorting technique that combines elements of ordinary merge sort and multi‑way merge sort. It highlights how the use of the "goto" operator becomes essential in this approach. The post explains the algorithm’s design and its potential advantages over traditional methods.

QueryGraph is a system that transforms natural language queries into structured graphs for reliable multi-tool execution. It employs a deterministic planner that uses depth-first search to resolve tool dependencies and combine results, improving reliability over traditional keyword searches. The approach works well even with smaller or locally hosted large language models, achieving high accuracy in multi-step, cross-tool queries.

The paper proposes a fine‑tuning‑free listwise selector for Text‑to‑SQL systems that replaces traditional learning objectives with inference‑time strategies. It introduces reusable structured memories (MaP‑SQL) that encode mappings from natural language to schema elements, SQL operations, and expected outputs, and uses these memories to evaluate candidate queries. To reduce positional bias, the method aggregates rankings across multiple input permutations, optimizing inference cost through execution results and pointwise scoring. The approach achieves higher selection accuracy, fewer unnecessary comparisons, and outperforms the prior state‑of‑the‑art R^3‑SQL on the BIRD‑dev benchmark while using fewer tokens.
