The text-to-SQL task involves converting natural language questions into executable SQL queries on a relational database. While modern large language models (LLMs) excel at many generative tasks, generating correct and complex SQL queries remains challenging. In the paper RetrySQL: text-to-SQL training with retry data for self-correcting query generation, the authors introduce a training paradigm that teaches the model to self-monitor and correct its reasoning steps during generation, rather than relying solely on post-processing modules. ...
