TAPEX (large-sized model)

TAPEX was proposed in TAPEX: Table Pre-training via Learning a Neural SQL Executor by Qian Liu, Bei Chen, Jiaqi Guo, Morteza Ziyadi, Zeqi Lin, Weizhu Chen, Jian-Guang Lou. The original repo can be found here.

Model description

TAPEX (Table Pre-training via Execution) is a conceptually simple and empirically powerful pre-training approach to empower existing models with table reasoning skills. TAPEX realizes table pre-training by learning a neural SQL executor over a synthetic corpus, which is obtained by automatically synthesizing executable SQL queries.

TAPEX is based on the BART architecture, the transformer encoder-encoder (seq2seq) model with a bidirectional (BERT-like) encoder and an autoregressive (GPT-like) decoder.

Intended Uses

⚠️ This model checkpoint is ONLY used for fine-tuining on downstream tasks, and you CANNOT use this model for simulating neural SQL execution, i.e., employ TAPEX to execute a SQL query on a given table. The one that can neurally execute SQL queries is at here.

This separation of two models for two kinds of intention is because of a known issue in BART large, and we recommend readers to see this comment for more details.

How to Fine-tuning

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
