1. Spider: A Large-Scale Human-Labeled Dataset for Complex and Cross-Domain Semantic Parsing and Text-to-SQL Task (2018 · 1,602 citations)
   Earlier text-to-SQL benchmarks reward memorization. Datasets such as ATIS and GeoQuery use one database and expand each query with several paraphrases, so the same SQL shows up in both training and test data. WikiSQL covers many databases, but its tables are single and its queries simple. Spider addresses both gaps.…
2. Map-of-Actions: Deliberate Reasoning over Multi-Labeled Graphs (2026)
   LLMs usually reason in free-form text, which makes intermediate steps hard to track, check, or correct. This leads to repeated work and errors that compound across steps. Ni and Yang propose Map-of-Actions (MoA), a neuro-symbolic framework inspired by Tolman's cognitive map theory. MoA represents the reasoning state…
