Researchers have developed EviLink, a novel approach to schema linking for Text-to-SQL systems. This method addresses the challenge of identifying relevant schema context from large databases by reframing schema linking as uncertainty-aware inference over multiple potential SQL paths. EviLink distinguishes between essential schema elements and those that are path-dependent, acquiring evidence only when necessary. Experiments on the BIRD-Dev and Spider2-Snow datasets demonstrate that EviLink improves schema completeness and relevance while managing token costs, achieving a 90.15% field-level strict recall rate on Spider2-Snow.
