Are We Asking the Right Questions?

With @daniel-gomm.bsky.social and @cowolff.bsky.social we wrote a reflection on ambiguity in natural language queries for tabular data analysis: What queries should we expect, facilitate? On what should tabular data analysis systems be evaluated, and how? See thrd

Excited to introducd the SQaLe dataset for text-to-SQL training/tuning at scale. SQaLe is the first large-scale text-to-SQL dataset grounded in real schemas and covers a broad range of realistic queries (eg # joins, operations).

SQaLe provides 517K high-quality question/schema/query triples 🤩.

Looking forward!

Excited to be at ACL! Join us at the Table Representation Learning workshop tomorrow in room 2.15 to talk about tables and AI.

We also present a paper showing the sensitivity of LLMs in tabular reasoning to e.g. missing vals and duplicates, by @cowolff.bsky.social at 16:50: arxiv.org/abs/2505.07453

Good news for authors of submissions to the Table Representation Learning workshop @ ACL: we're extending the deadline a little bit. Papers are due 21 April. No exceptions from there :).

🚀 Under the recently established research theme on Table Representation Learning, @madelonhulsebos.bsky.social (CWI), @iacercalixto.bsky.social (Amsterdam UMC), Michael Cochez (VU) & Andrew Yates (UvA) organized a workshop focusing on representation learning and generative models

Submissions (long and short) are due in roughly 4 weeks! ✨

We're excited to share that the 4th Table Representation Learning (TRL) workshop will be held at ACL 2025 in Vienna 🇪🇺

We invite papers on all things LLMs/ML and tabular data! table-representation-learning.github.io/ACL2025/

In 2025, TRL@ACL being in Europe and in summer complements TRL@NeurIPS ☀️

This edition is co-organized by
@madelonhulsebos.bsky.social @shuaichen.bsky.social Qian Liu, Wenhu Chen, Filip Gralinksi, and @huansunrise.bsky.social ✨

We look forward to reading your latest works in this emerging research area!

New this time, TRL will have proceedings 📖!

The submission deadline is 15 April, and the workshop will be on 31 July 2025.

We’ve had a wonderful edition of the Table Representation Learning workshop @NeurIPS 2024! Thanks to all for bringing such great energy and contributions!

This was the 3rd edition and it's so great to see the interest in ML for tables, as well as the diversity and quality of TRL research rising 🚀.

We’re starting again in 10 minutes, make sure to join the talk by Matei Zaharia, followed by contributed talks on text-to-SQL ✨

@madelonhulsebos.bsky.social kicking off the 3rd Table Representation Learning workshop (@trl-research.bsky.social) at NeurIPS 2024. First keynote by @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social.

Have a look at our work on foundation models on tabular data, published today at #TRL @ #NeurIPS2024:

📜 PORTAL, an open weight and code foundation model trained on tabular data, and
📜 SALT, a real business data set containing millions of sales orders across multiple tables.

Further details 👇

Join us for the Table Representation Learning workshop @NeurIPS: TODAY, 8:30am East Meeting Rm 11 & 12.

Exciting program with @gaelvaroquaux.bsky.social, Yasemin Altun, Matei Zaharia, and @jpgard.bsky.social + amazing contributed talks and posters.

Schedule: table-representation-learning.github.io

Are you a fan of Parquet and at #NeurIPS2024 tomorrow? Let's meet at our poster at @trl-research.bsky.social to see how you can reduce your Parquet file sizes by up to 40%.

Virtual compresses tables via functions while ensuring fast column scans.

⏰ 2.30pm
📍East Meeting Room 11 & 12
