Retrieval in the SQL setting has largely been studied as the task of finding, within a large collection of SQL statements, the statement that answers a natural-language question. At scale, however, a more fundamental retrieval problem precedes generation: schema retrieval, identifying the tables and columns a question requires in a database that may contain thousands of them, far more than fit in a model's context.
arXiv:2606. 01890v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Real-world domains often contain heterogeneous tables whose headers vary while their underlying attribute semantics are shared, making it difficult to induce domain-specialized semantics from table-local evidence alone.

arXiv:2603. 18652v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Reliably extracting tables from PDFs is essential for large-scale scientific data mining and knowledge base construction, yet existing evaluation approaches rely on rule-based metrics that fail to capture semantic equivalence of table content.

arXiv:2607. 22624v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recently, there have been several works in the Text-to-SQL domain that utilize Small Language Models (SLMs) for training.

arXiv:2606. 13871v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tabular data embeddings have become a cornerstone of data profiling and data integration pipelines, enabling tasks such as entity annotation and resolution; schema matching; column type detection; and table search, among others.
