SOMA-SQL: Resolving Multi-Source Ambiguity in NL-to-SQL via Synthetic Log and Execution Probing
Sai Ashish Somayajula, Marianne Menglin Liu, Chuan Lei +9
Natural language interfaces to databases aim to translate user questions into executable SQL, yet remain brittle in real-world settings where questions are underspecified and schem…
GraphER: An Efficient Graph-Based Enrichment and Reranking Method for Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Ruizhong Miao, Yuying Wang, Rongguang Wang +4
Semantic search in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems is often insufficient for complex information needs, particularly when relevant evidence is scattered across multipl…
MT-OSC: Path for LLMs that Get Lost in Multi-Turn Conversation
Jyotika Singh, Fang Tu, Miguel Ballesteros +6
Large language models (LLMs) suffer significant performance degradation when user instructions and context are distributed over multiple conversational turns, yet multi-turn (MT) i…
GSM-SEM: Benchmark and Framework for Generating Semantically Variant Augmentations
Jyotika Singh, Fang Tu, Aziza Mirsaidova +11
Benchmarks like GSM8K are popular measures of mathematical reasoning, but leaderboard gains can overstate true capability due to memorization of fixed test sets. Most robustness va…
Do Image-Text Metrics Respect Semantic Invariances?
Amit Agarwal, Hitesh Laxmichand Patel, Meizhu Liu +9
Reference-free image-to-text evaluators are now standard for scoring image-caption alignment, yet it is unclear whether they respect semantic invariances. We present an invariance…
Robust Audio-Text Retrieval via Cross-Modal Attention and Hybrid Loss
Meizhu Liu, Matthew Rowe, Amit Agarwal +8
Audio-text retrieval enables semantic alignment between audio content and natural language queries, supporting applications in multimedia search, accessibility, and surveillance. H…
