RDL-Bench: A Benchmark for Task-Aware Question Answering over Relational Databases

RDL-Bench is a new benchmark for task-aware question answering over relational databases, introduced in arXiv:2610.21382v1. It categorizes user questions into reasoning-oriented queries, which depend on the current database state, and prediction-oriented queries, which rely on future outcomes under temporal constraints. Each benchmark instance includes a natural-language question, task metadata, schema details, temporal context, executable evidence or target-construction logic, and denotation-level ground truth, supporting evaluation in both native solver and task-aware modular system settings.

LakeQA: An Exploratory QA Benchmark over a Million-Scale Data Lake

arXiv:2606. 10460v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent large language models (LLMs) have shown rapid progress in reading-based question answering (QA), where evidence is explicitly provided or can be trivially retrieved.

PARTAB: Partition-Aware Reasoning with Structured Evidence for Scalable Table Understanding

PARTAB is a framework that improves large language model reasoning on tables by constructing a structured evidence interface. It represents query‑relevant evidence as semantically coherent, row‑linked table regions and performs hierarchical selection over column groups and row‑level partitions before composing the evidence for answer generation. Evaluations on multiple table reasoning benchmarks show that PARTAB consistently outperforms full‑table prompting and recent methods, achieving strong performance on WikiTableQuestions and TabFact while remaining competitive on numerical reasoning tasks.

Build2SPARQL: A Large-Scale Text-to-SPARQL Benchmark Dataset for Building Knowledge Graph Querying

Build2SPARQL is a large-scale benchmark dataset for translating natural-language questions into SPARQL queries over building knowledge graphs. The dataset is generated by a KG‑grounded pipeline that produces 6,136 executable SPARQL queries and 30,680 corresponding natural-language questions across six query-pattern families and five vocabulary registers, covering 201 building KGs. Human validation shows high semantic fidelity, naturalness, and operational plausibility, and retrieval‑augmented evaluation demonstrates significant accuracy gains for open‑weight language models.
