• Abstract: In this paper, we present our submission to SemEval-2025 Task 8: Question Answering over Tabular Data. This task, evaluated on the DataBench dataset, assesses Large Language Models' (LLMs) ability to answer natural language questions over structured data while addressing topic diversity and table size limitations in previous benchmarks. We propose a system that employs effective LLM prompting to translate natural language queries into executable code, enabling accurate responses, error correction, and interpretability. Our approach ranks first in both subtasks of the competition in the proprietary model category, significantly outperforming the organizer's baseline.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are difficult to evaluate comprehensively, particularly for languages other than English. We present IberBench, a benchmark designed to assess LLM performance on both fundamental and industry-relevant NLP tasks. We evaluate 23 LLMs ranging from 100 million to 14 billion parameters and provide empirical insights into their strengths and limitations.

  Large Language Models (LLMs) have recently demonstrated impressive few-shot learning capabilities through in-context learning (ICL)<n>ICL performance is highly dependent on the choice of few-shot demonstrations, making the selection of the most optimal examples a persistent research challenge.<n>In this work, we propose PromptRefine, a novel Alternating Minimization approach for example selection that improves ICL performance on low-resource Indic languages.

• Ranking Clarification Questions via Natural Language Inference [25.433933534561568]
  Given a natural language query, teaching machines to ask clarifying questions is of immense utility in practical natural language processing systems. For the task of ranking clarification questions, we hypothesize that determining whether a clarification question pertains to a missing entry in a given post could be considered as a special case of Natural Language Inference (NLI) We validate this hypothesis by incorporating representations from a Siamese BERT model fine-tuned on NLI and Multi-NLI datasets into our models.
