DivSkill-SQL: Residual Skill Optimization for Text-to-SQL Ensembles

ai-technology · 2026-05-23

DivSkill-SQL is a groundbreaking framework aimed at improving Text-to-SQL performance by leveraging residual skills that existing ensembles may lack. It achieves noteworthy enhancements in Pass@K metrics without the necessity for fine-tuning, recording upticks of 11.1 points on Snowflake and 8.3 points on BigQuery using the Spider2-Lite dataset, surpassing the top baseline results. Additionally, DivSkill-SQL demonstrates consistent advancements with both Opus-4.6 and GPT-5.4 models. A significant advantage of this framework is its capability to transfer skills across different SQL dialects effortlessly, eliminating the need for additional retraining.
