New 'crystallization' method evaluates Text-to-SQL memory systems

Researchers have introduced a new evaluation framework called 'crystallization' to better assess the effectiveness of memory systems in Text-to-SQL models. This method distinguishes between replaying answers for recurring questions and applying learned knowledge to novel queries within the same database. By isolating the impact of memory choices, the study found that storing verified corrected queries improved first-attempt accuracy by 4.34 percentage points on the BIRD benchmark, capturing a significant portion of the potential gains from on-demand repair.

    From Test-Time Scaling to Reusable Memory: Measuring Crystallization in Text-to-SQL

    arXiv:2608.07213v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Test-time scaling can correct difficult text-to-SQL queries, but the extra computation is normally discarded after each answer. Systems increasingly retain verified repair episodes, yet evaluations still report one end-to-end score.…
