Abstract

Most recently, there has been significant interest in learning contextual representations for various NLP tasks, by leveraging large scale text corpora to train large neural language models with self-supervised learning objectives, such as Masked Language Model (MLM). However, based on a pilot study, we observe three issues of existing general-purpose language models when they are applied to text-to-SQL semantic parsers: fail to detect column mentions in the utterances, fail to infer column mentions from cell values, and fail to compose complex SQL queries. To mitigate these issues, we present a model pre-training framework, Generation-Augmented Pre-training (GAP), that jointly learns representations of natural language utterances and table schemas by leveraging generation models to generate pre-train data. GAP MODEL is trained on 2M utterance-schema pairs and 30K utterance-schema-SQL triples, whose utterances are produced by generative models. Based on experimental results, neural semantic parsers that leverage GAP MODEL as a representation encoder obtain new state-of-the-art results on both SPIDER and CRITERIA-TO-SQL benchmarks.

Alternatively, you can download them here if you don't have awscli: gap-finetuned-checkpoint and pretrained-checkpoint

curl https://gap-text2sql-public.s3.amazonaws.com/checkpoint-artifacts/gap-finetuned-checkpoint -o logdir/bart_run_1/bs\=12\,lr\=1.0e-04\,bert_lr\=1.0e-05\,end_lr\=0e0\,att\=1/model_checkpoint-00041000
curl https://gap-text2sql-public.s3.amazonaws.com/checkpoint-artifacts/pretrained-checkpoint -o pretrained_checkpoint/pytorch_model.bin

Preprocess dataset

python run.py preprocess experiments/spider-configs/gap-run.jsonnet

Inference

python run.py eval experiments/spider-configs/gap-run.jsonnet

You then get the inference results and evaluation results in the paths:ie_dirs/bart_run_1_true_1-step41000.infer and ie_dirs/bart_run_1_true_1-step41000.eval.

Training

python run.py train experiments/spider-configs/gap-run.jsonnet
