NL2SQL Generation with Noise Labels based on Multi-task Learning

Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, semantic recognition technology is becoming more and more mature, providing the preconditions for the development of natural language to SQL (NL2SQL) technology. In the latest research on NL2SQL, the use of pre-trained models as feature extractors for natural language and table schema has led to a very significant improvement in the effectiveness of the models. However, the current models do not take into account the degradation of the noisy labels on the overall SQL statement generation. It is crucial to reduce the impact of noisy labels on the overall SQL generation task and to maximize the return of accurate answers. To address this issue, we propose a restrictive constraint-based approach to mitigate the impact of noise-labeled labels on other tasks. In addition, parameter sharing approach is used in noiseless-labeled labels to capture each part’s correlations and improve the robustness of the model. In addition, we propose to use Kullback-Leibler divergence to constrain the discrepancy between hard and soft constrained coding of noisy labels. Our model is compared with some recent state-of-the-art methods, and experimental results show a significant improvement over the approach in this paper.
