Wei Zhou, Bolei Ma, Annemarie Friedrich +1
Table Question Answering (TQA) aims to answer natural language questions about tabular data, often accompanied by additional contexts such as text passages. The task spans diverse…
Exploring Generative Process Reward Modeling for Semi-Structured Data: A Case Study of Table Question Answering
Lei Tang, Wei Zhou, Mohsen Mesgar
Process reward models (PRMs) enhance complex reasoning in large language models (LLMs) by evaluating candidate solutions step-by-step and selecting answers based on aggregated step…
p2-TQA: A Process-based Preference Learning Framework for Self-Improving Table Question Answering Models
Wei Zhou, Mohsen Mesgar, Heike Adel +1
Table question answering (TQA) focuses on answering questions based on tabular data. Developing TQA systems targets effective interaction with tabular data for tasks such as cell r…
Pragmatics in the Era of Large Language Models: A Survey on Datasets, Evaluation, Opportunities and Challenges
Bolei Ma, Yuting Li, Wei Zhou +7
