Real-world scenarios involve massive heterogeneous structured data (e.g., tables, knowledge graphs), making effective reasoning over such diverse data increasingly important. Unified structured data question answering has emerged as a prominent research trend, aiming to answer natural language questions across different structured data types within a single framework. However, existing unified methods share a common limitation: they rely on a set of predefined functions, which restricts their ability to perform complex reasoning beyond these predefined operations. To overcome this fundamental limitation, we propose CRAFTQA, a novel adaptive code-driven framework comprising two core modules, CodeSTEP and CRAFT. The CodeSTEP module is a paradigm that generates a complete executable Python code sequence, which contains step-by-step code-based reasoning operations based on the question.The CRAFT module dynamically generates custom code functions for operations beyond the predefined function set, and seamlessly integrates with CodeSTEP to significantly enhance flexibility in handling complex reasoning. Comprehensive experiments on multiple structured datasets demonstrate that CRAFTQA achieves remarkable improvements in complex reasoning scenarios compared to existing unified methods.

We introduce Dynamic Retrieval-Augmented Expert Networks (DRAE), a groundbreaking architecture that addresses the challenges of lifelong learning, catastrophic forgetting, and task adaptation by combining the dynamic routing capabilities of Mixture-of-Experts (MoE); leveraging the knowledge-enhancement power of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG); incorporating a novel hierarchical reinforcement learning (RL) framework; and coordinating through ReflexNet-SchemaPlanner-HyperOptima (RSHO).DRAE dynamically routes expert models via a sparse MoE gating mechanism, enabling efficient resource allocation while leveraging external knowledge through parametric retrieval (P-RAG) to augment the learning process. We propose a new RL framework with ReflexNet for low-level task execution, SchemaPlanner for symbolic reasoning, and HyperOptima for long-term context modeling, ensuring continuous adaptation and memory retention. Experimental results show that DRAE significantly outperforms baseline approaches in long-term task retention and knowledge reuse, achieving an average task success rate of 82.5% across a set of dynamic robotic manipulation tasks, compared to 74.2% for traditional MoE models. Furthermore, DRAE maintains an extremely low forgetting rate, outperforming state-of-the-art methods in catastrophic forgetting mitigation. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in enabling flexible, scalable, and efficient lifelong learning for robotics.
