# ReasTAP |
|
|
|
ReasTAP is a table reasoning model proposed in the EMNLP 2022 paper [ReasTAP: Injecting Table Reasoning Skills During Pre-training via Synthetic Reasoning Examples](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.12374.pdf). The original Github repository is [https://github.com/Yale-LILY/ReasTAP](https://github.com/Yale-LILY/ReasTAP). |
|
|
|
## Description |
|
|
|
`Yale-LILY/reastap-large-finetuned-wtq` is initialized with `Yale-LILY/reastap-large` and finetuned on [WikiTableQuestions](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitablequestions). |
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM |
|
import pandas as pd |
|
|
|
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Yale-LILY/reastap-large-finetuned-wtq") |
|
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Yale-LILY/reastap-large-finetuned-wtq") |
|
|
|
data = { |
|
"year": [1896, 1900, 1904, 2004, 2008, 2012], |
|
"city": ["athens", "paris", "st. louis", "athens", "beijing", "london"] |
|
} |
|
table = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(data) |
|
|
|
query = "In which year did beijing host the Olympic Games?" |
|
encoding = tokenizer(table=table, query=query, return_tensors="pt") |
|
|
|
outputs = model.generate(**encoding) |
|
|
|
print(tokenizer.batch_decode(outputs, skip_special_tokens=True)) |
|
# [' 2008'] |
|
``` |

abstract = "Reasoning over tabular data requires both table structure understanding and a broad set of table reasoning skills. Current models with table-specific architectures and pre-training methods perform well on understanding table structures, but they still struggle with tasks that require various table reasoning skills. In this work, we develop ReasTAP to show that high-level table reasoning skills can be injected into models during pre-training without a complex table-specific architecture design. We define 7 table reasoning skills, such as numerical operation, temporal comparison, and conjunction. Each reasoning skill is associated with one example generator, which synthesizes questions over semi-structured tables according to the sampled templates. We model the table pre-training task as a sequence generation task and pre-train ReasTAP to generate precise answers of the synthetic examples. ReasTAP is evaluated on four benchmarks covering three downstream tasks including 1) WikiSQL-Weak and WikiTQ for Table Question Answering, 2) TabFact for Table Fact Verification, and 3) LogicNLG for Faithful Table-to-Text Generation. Experimental results demonstrate that ReasTAP achieves new state-of-the-art results on all of them and delivers a significant improvement under low-resource setting. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/Yale-LILY/ReasTAP.", |
