Spider Realistic Dataset In Structure-Grounded Pretraining for Text-to-SQL

This folder contains the Spider-Realistic dataset used for evaluation in the paper "Structure-Grounded Pretraining for Text-to-SQL". The dataset is created based on the dev split of the Spider dataset (2020-06-07 version from https://yale-lily.github.io/spider). We manually modified the original questions to remove the explicit mention of column names while keeping the SQL queries unchanged to better evaluate the model's capability in aligning the NL utterance and the DB schema. For more details, please check our paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.12773. 

It contains the following files:

- spider-realistic.json
  # The spider-realistic evaluation set
  # Examples: 508
    # Databases:         19
- dev.json
  # The original dev split of Spider
    # Examples: 1034
    # Databases:         20
- tables.json
  # The original DB schemas from Spider
    # Databases:          166
- README.txt

The Spider-Realistic dataset is created based on the dev split of the Spider dataset realsed by Yu, Tao, et al. "Spider: A large-scale human-labeled dataset for complex and cross-domain semantic parsing and text-to-sql task." It is a subset of the original dataset with explicit mention of the column names removed. The sql queries and databases are kept unchanged.
For the format of each json file, please refer to the github page of Spider https://github.com/taoyds/spider.
For the database files please refer to the official Spider release https://yale-lily.github.io/spider.
