The paper presents a framework for translating natural‑language queries into Kusto Query Language (KQL) using small language models (SLMs). It introduces lightweight retrieval, error‑aware prompting, LoRA fine‑tuning with rationale distillation, and a two‑stage architecture that pairs an SLM drafter with a low‑cost LLM judge. Evaluations on Microsoft’s NL2KQL Defender dataset show the two‑stage approach achieving high syntax and schema‑valid accuracy while dramatically reducing cost compared to larger LLM baselines.

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.
arXiv:2510. 15476v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used as interfaces to information, code, and real-world services, making prompt-level security failures a practical concern.
The paper introduces Dial, a knowledge‑grounded framework for generating SQL queries that respect the specific dialect of heterogeneous database systems. Dial comprises a Dialect‑Aware Logical Query Planning module, a hierarchical intent‑aware knowledge base (HINT‑KB) containing canonical syntax, function, and constraint repositories, and an execution‑driven debugging loop that separates syntactic recovery from logic auditing. The authors also present DS‑NL2SQL, a benchmark of 2,218 dialect‑specific test cases across six major database systems, and report that Dial improves translation accuracy by 10.25% and dialect feature coverage by 15.77% over existing baselines.
arXiv:2510. 14113v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) are transforming everyday applications, yet deployment in cybersecurity lags due to a lack of high-quality, domain-specific models and training datasets.
Reflex-Guard is a lightweight, locally‑run guardrail for large language models that uses jailbreak‑aware preprocessing, compact sentence‑transformer embeddings, and seven fast binary classifiers to filter unsafe prompts. It achieves 95.9 % recall on harmful prompts with an end‑to‑end latency of 37.6 ms, outperforming existing solutions such as Llama Guard 2 (255 ms) and SafeDecoding (723 ms). The system can detect all GCG suffix attacks and Base64‑encoded prompts at the default threshold, while DrAttack structured prompts require a lower threshold of 0.03 for optimal detection, and it attains a Reflex Efficiency Score of up to 16.79.
text2ql is an open‑source Python framework that enables natural language querying of databases without relying on large language models at query time. It uses a language‑agnostic intermediate representation (QueryIR) and a pluggable renderer to support both SQL and GraphQL targets through a single seven‑stage detection pipeline. In deterministic mode, it achieves 100% execution accuracy with a median latency of 3.2 ms, while the LLM‑backed mode delivers 62‑70% exact match and 84‑91% execution accuracy on benchmark samples.

text2ql is an open‑source Python framework that enables natural language querying of databases without being limited to SQL, without requiring large language model inference at query time, and with a runtime confidence score for each generated query. It uses a language‑agnostic Intermediate Representation (QueryIR) and a pluggable renderer that supports both SQL and GraphQL through a single seven‑stage detection pipeline. In deterministic mode, it achieves 100% execution accuracy with a median latency of 3.2 ms, while the LLM‑backed mode reaches 62‑70% exact match and 84‑91% execution accuracy on benchmark samples.
