TaBERT: Pretraining for Joint Understanding of Textual and Tabular Data
Open accessAbstract
Recent years have witnessed the burgeoning of pretrained language models (LMs) for textbased natural language (NL) understanding tasks.Such models are typically trained on free-form NL text, hence may not be suitable for tasks like semantic parsing over structured data, which require reasoning over both free-form NL questions and structured tabular data (e.g., database tables).In this paper we present TABERT, a pretrained LM that jointly learns representations for NL sentences and (semi-)structured tables.TABERT is trained on a large corpus of 26 million tables and their English contexts.In experiments, neural semantic parsers using TABERT as feature representation layers achieve new best results on the challenging weakly-supervised semantic parsing benchmark WIKITABLEQUESTIONS, while performing competitively on the text-to-SQL dataset SPIDER. 1

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
