text2ql: Multi-Target Natural Language Querying via a Language-Agnostic Intermediate Representation

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.

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.

Spider 2.0-AIFunc: Extending Real-World Text-to-SQL to AI-Native SQL Workflows

arXiv:2607. 06229v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Major cloud data platforms now expose large language model capabilities as native SQL functions, enabling analysts to perform classification, filtering, sentiment analysis, extraction, similarity search, and aggregation within ordinary SQL queries.

Natural Language Questions as an Interface for Knowledge Graphs: QRAKEN Graph Distillation and Semantic Self-Healing

The paper introduces QRAKEN, a training‑free, ontology‑agnostic neurosymbolic pipeline that grounds natural‑language queries to RDF knowledge graphs using empirical graph evidence instead of schema expectations. QRAKEN distills a compact TTQL representation offline, then uses it online to guide large language models, providing deterministic checks and an iterative refinement loop. On the CK25 benchmark, QRAKEN achieves a strict F1 of 0.643–0.652 with GPT‑4.1 mini and GPT‑5.4, outperforming state‑of‑the‑art systems and demonstrating the effectiveness of empirical pattern distillation over schema‑only approaches.

Querying an astronomical database using large language models: the ALeRCE text-to-SQL system

arXiv:2606. 18108v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a text-to-SQL (structured query language) system based on large language models (LLMs) using in-context learning and apply it to the Automatic Learning for the Rapid Classification of Events (ALeRCE) astronomical database.

SPARQL-LLM: Real-Time SPARQL Query Generation from Natural Language Questions

SPARQL-LLM is an open‑source, triplestore‑agnostic system that generates SPARQL queries from natural language using lightweight metadata and dedicated components for indexing, prompt building, and execution. It achieves up to 59 % higher F1 scores than the next best system on a multilingual challenge and on bioinformatics knowledge graphs, while being up to 27 × faster and costing no more than $0.01 per question. The project is publicly available on GitHub and is already deployed on real‑world decentralized knowledge graphs such as expasy.org/chat.

IndicDBBench - Benchmarking Multilingual Text-to-SQL Capabilities in Indian Languages

IndicDBBench is a new multilingual Text-to-SQL benchmark that evaluates cross‑lingual semantic parsing across 20 databases and 237 tables in seven languages, including English and six Indic languages. The benchmark uses real‑world open‑data schemas from NDAP and IDP, and a three‑agent pipeline to create complex relational structures with high relational density and join depths up to six. Evaluation of state‑of‑the‑art models shows a 9‑point drop in execution accuracy from English to Indic languages, revealing an "Indic Gap" that persists even when gold tables and literal values are supplied.

Bridging the Gap: Enabling Natural Language Queries for NoSQL Databases through Text-to-NoSQL Translation

arXiv:2502. 11201v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: NoSQL databases are core data infrastructure, yet natural-language access to them remains underdeveloped: correct query generation must recover how a non-relational data model represents entities, nested paths, arrays, missing fields, and dynamic keys.

Enabling Knowledge Graph Understanding at Scale with the EXplore Your Graphs ENgine (EXYGEN)

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.
