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.
arXiv:2606. 08018v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Existing text-to-SQL benchmarks are largely centered on SQLite, making it difficult to evaluate whether models can generalize across heterogeneous SQL dialects.

LIMIT (Less Is More for Instruction Tuning in Text-to-SQL) challenges the belief that large instruction corpora are necessary for effective Text-to-SQL models. The framework uses a four‑stage data‑centric process—difficulty‑aware filtering, chain‑of‑thought synthesis, LLM‑as‑judge quality scoring, and genetic algorithm optimization—to select a compact set of examples that still achieve full schema coverage. On the BIRD and Spider benchmarks, LIMIT’s 796 and 863 samples enable Qwen3‑8B to reach 69.1% and 88.9% execution accuracy, outperforming methods trained on twenty times more data and setting a new state‑of‑the‑art for open‑source approaches.

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.

The paper "Towards Optimizing SQL Generation via LLM Routing" proposes a routing approach for Text-to-SQL tasks that dynamically selects the most cost‑effective large language model (LLM) for each query. Two routing strategies—score‑based and classification‑based—are introduced, achieving accuracy comparable to the best LLM while reducing latency and monetary cost. The authors design the routers for easy training and efficient inference, and demonstrate a practical accuracy‑cost trade‑off on the BIRD dataset.
