• Abstract: With advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs), a major use case that has emerged is querying databases in plain English, translating user questions into executable database queries, which has improved significantly. However, real-world datasets often feature a vast array of attributes and complex values, complicating the LLMs task of accurately identifying relevant columns or values from natural language queries. Traditional methods cannot fully relay the datasets size and complexity to the LLM. To address these challenges, we propose a novel framework that leverages Full-Text Search (FTS) on the input table. This approach not only enables precise detection of specific values and columns but also narrows the search space for language models, thereby enhancing query accuracy. Additionally, it supports a custom auto-complete feature that suggests queries based on the data in the table. This integration significantly refines the interaction between the user and complex datasets, offering a sophisticated solution to the limitations faced by current table querying capabilities. This work is accompanied by an application for both Mac and Windows platforms, which readers can try out themselves on their own data.

  We introduce E- repository, a novel pipeline designed to address challenges through direct schema linking and candidate predicate augmentation. E- enhances the natural language query by incorporating relevant database items (i.e. tables, columns, and values) and conditions directly into the question, bridging the gap between the query and the database structure. We investigate the impact of schema filtering, a technique widely explored in previous work, and demonstrate its diminishing returns when applied alongside advanced large language models.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) often do not perform well on queries that require the aggregation of information across texts.

We construct this dataset by leveraging an existing dataset of texts and their associated tables. We demonstrate that all contemporary LLMs perform poorly on this dataset, achieving an accuracy below 38%.

We validate our model on a set of open-domain QA datasets, covering multiple query complexities, and show that ours enhances the overall efficiency and accuracy of QA systems.
