Do LLMs Align with My Task? Evaluating Text-to-SQL via Dataset Alignment

Davood Rafiei, Morgan Lindsay Heisler, Weiwei Zhang +2

Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) is an effective method for adapting Large Language Models (LLMs) on downstream tasks. However, variability in training data can hinder a model's abilit…

Confidence Estimation for Text-to-SQL in Large Language Models

Sepideh Entezari Maleki, Mohammadreza Pourreza, Davood Rafiei

Confidence estimation for text-to-SQL aims to assess the reliability of model-generated SQL queries without having access to gold answers. We study this problem in the context of l…

SPRINT: Enabling Interleaved Planning and Parallelized Execution in Reasoning Models

Emil Biju, Shayan Talaei, Zhemin Huang +3

Large reasoning models (LRMs) excel at complex reasoning tasks but typically generate lengthy sequential chains-of-thought, resulting in long inference times before arriving at the…

On the Role of Feedback in Test-Time Scaling of Agentic AI Workflows

Souradip Chakraborty, Mohammadreza Pourreza, Ruoxi Sun +8

Agentic AI workflows (systems that autonomously plan and act) are becoming widespread, yet their task success rate on complex tasks remains low. A promising solution is inference-t…

S2D: Sorted Speculative Decoding For More Efficient Deployment of Nested Large Language Models

Parsa Kavehzadeh, Mohammadreza Pourreza, Mojtaba Valipour +5

Deployment of autoregressive large language models (LLMs) is costly, and as these models increase in size, the associated costs will become even more considerable. Consequently, di…
