ambiguous questions

[YoungJaeChoung]

I think some questions have alternative queries.

---

1.

• file name: GeoNuclearData.json

• question: 'How many nuclear power plants are in preparation to be used in Japan?'

• query: 'SELECT count(*) FROM nuclear_power_plants WHERE Country = "Japan" AND Status = "Under Construction"'

• possible query: "select count(*) from nuclear_power_plants where Country = 'Japan' and Status = 'Planned'"

---

2. • file name: GeoNuclearData.json

• question: Where is the first BWR type power plant built and located?

• query: SELECT Longitude, Latitude FROM nuclear_power_plants WHERE ReactorType = "BWR" ORDER BY ConstructionStartAt LIMIT 1

• possible query: select Name, Country from nuclear_power_plants where ReactorType = 'BWR' order by ConstructionStartAt limit 1

---

3.

• file name: GeoNuclearData.json

• question: 'How many PHWR are there today?'

• query: "select count(*) from nuclear_power_plants where ReactorType = 'PHWR' and Status != 'Shutdown';"

• possible query: 'SELECT count(*) FROM nuclear_power_plants WHERE ReactorType = "PHWR"'

---

4.

• file name: GreaterManchesterCrime.json

• question: 'Which area do most of the crimes happen?'

• query: 'SELECT Location FROM GreaterManchesterCrime GROUP BY Location ORDER BY count(*) DESC LIMIT 1'

• possible query: 'select LSOA from GreaterManchesterCrime group by LSOA order by count(*) desc limit 1;'

---

5.

• file name: GreaterManchesterCrime.json

• question: Where is the safest area?

• query: SELECT Location FROM GreaterManchesterCrime GROUP BY Location ORDER BY count(*) LIMIT 1

• possible query: select LSOA from GreaterManchesterCrime group by LSOA order by count(*) asc limit 1

Hello! Indeed, in text-to-SQL benchmarks, it is not uncommon to have multiple valid SQLs for a question. And typically, during annotation process, humans couldn't list out all possible SQLs. To resolve this issue, I would suggest take a look at evaluation methods other than Exact Match. For example, execution accuracy by BIRD-SQL.

Thanks for pointing this out anyways!

Thank you for sharing the paper. I will read it. :)
