TableGPT2-7B is designed to bridge the gap between conventional LLM capabilities and the real-world demands of tabular/structured data tasks, such as those in business intelligence (BI), automated data-driven analysis, and application tasks tightly involving databases or data warehouses. **Model Developers** Zhejiang University **Variations** TableGPT2 is available in two configurations—7B and 72B parameters—both derived from the Qwen2.5 model family and optimized for handling structured data in tabular formats. Currently, we have released the 7B version to the public. **Input** TableGPT2-7B accepts both text and tabular data as input, with the tabular data structured as text in the format of a `df.head()` result. **Output** TableGPT2-7B produces text-based outputs, specifically optimized for coding tasks, data interpretation, and BI-focused question answering. **Language** Our model places a strong emphasis on Chinese corpora, and currently, queries in other languages may have limited support. **Other Requirements** We highly recommend exploring [our repository on GitHub](https://github.com/tablegpt/tablegpt-agent), where users can integrate this model into our agent workflow for enhanced performance. **Model Architecture** TableGPT2-7B is built upon the Qwen2.5 architecture and includes specialized encoding for tabular data. It features a unique semantic encoder designed to interpret tabular data, capturing insights from rows, columns, and entire tables. Continual Pretraining (CPT) and Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT) have been applied to equip the model for real-world BI applications and complex query processing. For now, the standalone decoder is open-sourced and fully functional without having to require assistance from the encoder. The encoder is currently under preparation, pending engineering considerations, primarily because we hope to provide a tighter integration with DeepSpeed and vLLM. | | Training Data | Params | Context Length | Tokens | Tables | | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------ | ------ | -------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------- | | TableGPT2-7B | Multimodal data sources and BI-specific examples | 7B | 128K | 86B tokens CPT, 2.36M SFT samples | 593.8K tables | **Status** This model is static, trained on an offline dataset.

This extensive dataset aims to meet the rigorous demands of modern applications involving structured or tabular data. **Data Freshness** The training data has a cutoff of October 2024. ## Evaluation Results Evaluation has shown that TableGPT2-7B performs consistently well across benchmarks for tabular comprehension, code generation, and structured data reasoning, achieving a **35.20%** performance increase over comparable models on standard benchmarks and **49.32%** on BI-focused assessments. The RealTabBench benchmark further demonstrated the model’s robustness in handling unconventional tables and complex queries. Below, we present the results on public table-related benchmarks. | **Benchmark** | **Metric** | GPT-4o | TableLLM (Qwen2) | TableLLM (CodeQwen) | TableLLM (LLaMA3) | TableLLM (LLaMA3.1) | TableLLM (DeepSeek) | TableLLM-13B | DeepSeek-lite | Yi-Coder | Qwen2.5-Coder | Qwen2.5-Instruct | **TableGPT2-7B** | **TableGPT2-72B** | | ----------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ---------------- | ------------------- | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------- | ------------ | ------------- | -------- | ------------- | ---------------- | -------------- | --------------- | | **Table Understanding** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Col Type Annot. | F1 | 31.75 | 10.10 | 5.71 | 1.47 | 1.59 | 6.04 | 12.70 | 20.58 | 5.38 | 32.59 | 22.19 | **85.88** | 85.67 | | Relation Extract. | F1 | 52.95 | 1.60 | 3.79 | 2.39 | 2.00 | 3.34 | 18.16 | 8.67 | 2.25 | 31.00 | 15.92 | **83.35** | 79.50 | | Entity Linking | Acc | 90.80 | 47.10 | 39.70 | 0.20 | 0.60 | 15.50 | 66.25 | 70.15 | 41.75 | 71.70 | 82.25 | 92.00 | **93.30** | | Row Pop. | MAP | 53.40 | 2.20 | 5.14 | 1.93 | 6.23 | 3.13 | 14.25 | 1.20 | 1.00 | 13.23 | 12.30 | **59.97** | 55.83 | | **Question Answering** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HiTab | Exec Acc | 48.40 | 11.74 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | 39.08 | 6.30 | 0.76 | 0.00 | 1.70 | 10.73 | 70.27 | **75.57** | | FetaQA | BLEU | 21.70 | 12.24 | 8.69 | 2.42 | 3.10 | 7.94 | 10.83 | 15.08 | 11.17 | 13.00 | 16.91 | 28.97 | **32.25** | | HybridQA | Acc | 58.60 | 27.12 | 20.14 | 27.35 | 27.61 | 19.53 | 51.88 | 42.58 | 29.83 | 51.10 | 51.13 | 53.17 | **56.41** | | WikiSQL | Acc | 47.60 | 46.50 | 37.20 | 39.26 | 39.00 | 36.14 | 41.10 | 38.30 | 25.34 | 46.90 | 47.42 | 53.74 | **57.32** | | WikiTQ | Acc | 68.40 | 64.16 | 36.05 | 34.95 | 38.84 | 36.05 | 66.30 | 47.65 | 43.37 | **74.50** | 68.55 | 61.42 | 71.45 | | **Fact Verification** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TabFact | Acc | 74.40 | 72.00 | 53.20 | 40.06 | 27.13 | 60.76 | 68.95 | 62.27 | 79.6 | 77.26 | 84.60 | 77.80 | **85.43** | | FEVEROUS | Acc | 71.60 | 20.10 | 46.90 | 51.50 | 42.30 | 18.39 | 21.45 | 7.80 | 38.10 | 60.70 | 63.30 | **78.05** | 76.80 | | **Table to Text** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ToTTo | BLEU | 12.21 | 6.95 | 3.10 | 5.50 | 6.23 | 3.81 | 5.36 | 8.76 | 2.64 | 10.50 | 11.91 | 14.10 | **22.69** | | **Natural Language to SQL** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | BIRD(dev) | Exec Acc | - | 9.13 | 7.37 | 1.83 | 2.48 | 0.39 | 0.72 | 25.10 | 24.19 | 27.18 | 18.97 | 31.42 | **38.40** | | BIRD(dev-knowledge) | Exec Acc | - | 15.45 | 18.19 | 3.39 | 3.72 | 0.39 | 1.83 | 36.51 | 39.96 | 42.96 | 31.42 | 49.28 | **60.76** | | Spider(dev) | Exec Acc | - | 42.26 | 32.88 | 12.86 | 18.96 | 2.71 | 4.26 | 66.44 | 58.12 | 70.99 | 61.70 | 76.31 | **79.40** | | Spider(test) | Exec Acc | - | 40.29 | 34.93 | 12.02 | 16.35 | 7.33 | 2.93 | 66.65 | 56.87 | 69.73 | 60.18 | 74.38 | **78.48** | | **Holistic Table Evaluation** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TableBench | DP | - | 26.62 | 26.44 | 26.71 | 26.73 | 26.15 | 3.88 | 29.60 | 21.94 | 28.67 | 25.18 | 32.03 | **38.90** | | TableBench | TCoT | - | 37.08 | 31.33 | 29.79 | 30.01 | 28.65 | 3.85 | 30.93 | 22.8 | 36.25 | 29.77 | 42.34 | **50.06** | | TableBench | SCoT | - | 14.11 | 17.78 | 9.60 | 12.38 | 22.39 | 2.88 | 22.61 | 8.43 | 25.95 | 24.35 | 25.01 | **30.47** | | TableBench | PoT@1 | - | 21.05 | 26.39 | | | | | | | | | | | ## Citation If you find our work helpful, please cite us by ``` XXX ```
