• Authors: Nina Narodytska, Shay Vargaftik,
• Abstract summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) have made significant progress in assisting users to query databases in natural language. LLMs provide state-of-the-art results on many standard benchmarks, but their performance significantly drops when applied to large enterprise databases. We propose a new solution that combines the power of LLMs in understanding questions with automated reasoning techniques to handle complex database constraints.

• Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have made significant progress in assisting users to query databases in natural language. While LLM-based techniques provide state-of-the-art results on many standard benchmarks, their performance significantly drops when applied to large enterprise databases. The reason is that these databases have a large number of tables with complex relationships that are challenging for LLMs to reason about. We analyze challenges that LLMs face in these settings and propose a new solution that combines the power of LLMs in understanding questions with automated reasoning techniques to handle complex database constraints. Based on these ideas, we have developed a new framework that outperforms state-of-the-art techniques in zero-shot text-to-SQL on complex benchmarks

  Long-context language models (LCLMs) have the potential to revolutionize our approach to tasks traditionally reliant on external tools like retrieval systems or databases. We introduce LOFT, a benchmark of real-world tasks requiring context up to millions of tokens designed to evaluate LCLMs' performance on in-context retrieval and reasoning. Our findings reveal LCLMs' surprising ability to rival state-of-the-art retrieval and RAG systems, despite never having been explicitly trained for these tasks.
