MAC-SQL: A Multi-Agent Collaborative Framework for Text-to-SQL

COLING 2025main

Recent LLM-based Text-to-SQL methods usually suffer from significant performance degradation on “huge” databases and complex user questions that require multi-step reasoning. Moreover, most existing methods neglect the crucial significance of LLMs utilizing external tools and model collaboration. To…

New Intent Discovery with Attracting and Dispersing Prototype

COLING 2024main

New Intent Discovery (NID) aims to recognize known and infer new intent categories with the help of limited labeled and large-scale unlabeled data. The task is addressed as a feature-clustering problem and recent studies augment instance representation. However, existing methods fail to capture clus…

CQR-SQL: Conversational Question Reformulation Enhanced Context-Dependent Text-to-SQL Parsers

EMNLP 2022finding

Context-dependent text-to-SQL is the task of translating multi-turn questions into database-related SQL queries. Existing methods typically focus on making full use of history context or previously predicted SQL for currently SQL parsing, while neglecting to explicitly comprehend the schema and conv…

A Unified Multi-Task Learning Framework for Joint Extraction of Entities and Relations

AAAI 2021technical

Joint extraction of entities and relations focuses on detecting entity pairs and their relations simultaneously with a unified model. Based on the extraction order, previous works mainly solve this task through relation-last, relation-first and relation-middle manner. However, these methods still su…

Correlation-Guided Representation for Multi-Label Text Classification

IJCAI 2021poster

Multi-label text classification is an essential task in natural language processing. Existing multi-label classification models generally consider labels as categorical variables and ignore the exploitation of label semantics. In this paper, we view the task as a correlation-guided text representati…

Asking Effective and Diverse Questions: A Machine Reading Comprehension based Framework for Joint Entity-Relation Extraction

IJCAI 2020poster

Recent advances cast the entity-relation extraction to a multi-turn question answering (QA) task and provide an effective solution based on the machine reading comprehension (MRC) models. However, they use a single question to characterize the meaning of entities and relations, which is intuitively…
