Harnessing LLMs for Practical NL2SQL: Paradigms and Challenges

摘要

With the advent of large language models (LLMs), numerous NL2SQL approaches have been proposed, demonstrating exceptional performance across various benchmarks. However, effectively harnessing LLMs for practical NL2SQL applications remains a challenging question due to the different requirements among applications, such as training data, computational resources, etc. In this talk, I will explore the potential paradigms for developing NL2SQL models tailored for real-world scenarios and examine representative approaches within each paradigm. Additionally, I will discuss the research challenges and future directions in this field.
