Large Language Models (LLMs) have demon- strated exceptional performance across diverse tasks. To harness their capabilities for Text- to-SQL, we introduce R3 (Review-Rebuttal- Revision), a consensus-based multi-agent sys- tem for Text-to-SQL tasks. R3 achieves the new state-of-the-art performance of 89.9 on the Spider test set. In the meantime, R3 achieves 61.80 on the Bird development set. R3 out- performs existing single-LLM and multi-agent Text-to-SQL systems by 1.3% to 8.1% on Spi- der and Bird, respectively. Surprisingly, we find that for Llama-3-8B, R3 outperforms chain-of- thought prompting by over 20%, even outper- forming GPT-3.5 on the Spider development set. We open-source our codebase at https: //github.com/1ring2rta/R3.

Although contextualized embeddings generated from large-scale pre-trained models perform well in many tasks, traditional static embeddings (e.g., Skip-gram, Word2Vec) still play an important role in low-resource and lightweight settings due to their low computational cost, ease of deployment, and stability. In this paper, we aim to improve word embeddings by 1) incorporating more contextual information from existing pre-trained models into the Skip-gram framework, which we call Context-to-Vec; 2) proposing a post-processing retrofitting method for static embeddings independent of training by employing priori synonym knowledge and weighted vector distribution. Through extrinsic and intrinsic tasks, our methods are well proven to outperform the baselines by a large margin.
