arXiv:2605.22843v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL converts natural language questions into executable SQL queries, enabling non-technical users to access relational databases for analytics and intelligent data services. In real-world scenarios, performance is often constrained by low-resource settings, where high-quality annotated \texttt{ } pairs are scarce, particularly for domain-specific databases. Additional challenges include opaque schema definitions, abbreviations, and implicit business logic that are not explicitly encoded in the schema. Existing data synthesis and prompting
The proliferation of AI applications is driving the need for more efficient and less resource-intensive models, particularly in specialized domains where data is scarce and expert annotation is costly.
This research addresses a critical bottleneck in AI development, enabling smaller organizations and domain-specific applications to leverage advanced AI capabilities without extensive data and resource investments.
The focus on knowledge distillation for low-resource Text-to-SQL models suggests a pathway to democratize access to advanced database interaction, reducing reliance on large pre-trained models and vast datasets.
