Schema-Anchored Latent Reasoning for Semantic Parsing-Based Knowledge Base Question Answering

The paper introduces SALR, a schema‑anchored latent reasoning approach for generating logical forms in knowledge‑base question answering. SALR delays explicit schema commitments by generating continuous thoughts in hidden states and aligns these thoughts with a codebook of KB schema elements, guided by an alignment objective derived from gold logical forms. Experiments on GrailQA and WebQSP demonstrate that SALR consistently outperforms strong baselines, notably improving compositional question performance by 2.86 F1 points over TIARA.

Tytan: Interactive Neurosymbolic Construction of Analytic Semantic Schemas from Relational Data

arXiv:2608. 06331v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: From natural-language query interfaces to automated report generation, data analysis tools need a description of the data: the real-world entities it contains, which columns function as measures or identifiers, and how tables connect into units of analysis.

BudgetSchemaBench: A Budget-Swept Diagnostic for Schema Context in Text-to-SQL

BudgetSchemaBench is a diagnostic tool for evaluating how different schema‑context budgets affect text‑to‑SQL systems. It automatically derives relevance labels from gold SQL, tests four budgets across 80 databases, and compares three schema representations while keeping table rankings fixed. The study shows that increasing the budget improves execution accuracy, especially for lexical retrieval, and that dense retrieval already captures most needed tables at low budgets.
