COAL-SQL: Coverage-Guided Augmentation and Failure-Driven Learning for Text-to-SQL Post-Training
Excerpt
arXiv:2609.20842v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Text-to-SQL translates natural-language questions into executable SQL queries, but open-source large language models still require task-specific post-training for complex, real-world SQL generation. Effective post-training requires both training data that cover the capabilities demanded by the target task and a learning strategy that enables the model to acquire them. Existing datasets provide valuable supervision but incompletely cover SQL structu
