GradeSQL-7B — Outcome Reward Model for Text-to-SQL

Model Description

GradeSQL-7B is an Outcome Reward Model (ORM) designed to evaluate the semantic correctness of SQL queries generated from natural language questions in Text-to-SQL tasks. Rather than relying on syntactic heuristics or majority votes, GradeSQL-7B assigns a confidence score indicating whether a candidate SQL query faithfully answers the user's question based on the database schema.

Built on top of the OmniSQL-7B base model and finetuned on the SPIDER dataset, GradeSQL-7B provides a robust semantic scoring mechanism to improve query selection and alignment with user intent.

Intended Use

Reranking Candidate SQL Queries: Use GradeSQL-7B to assign semantic correctness scores and select the best SQL query among multiple candidates generated by LLMs.
Enhancing Text-to-SQL Pipelines: Integrate as a reward or reranking model to improve execution accuracy and semantic fidelity in Text-to-SQL systems.
Evaluation and Research: Analyze the semantic alignment of SQL queries with natural language questions to identify and mitigate errors.

Finetuning Configuration

The following LoRA configuration was used to train this model:

R: 16 (rank of the low-rank matrices)
Lora Alpha: 64 (scaling factor for the low-rank update)
Target Modules: {q_proj, k_proj, v_proj, o_proj, gate_proj, up_proj, down_proj}
Lora Dropout: 0.05
Bias: "none" (bias terms are frozen)
FP16: True (half-precision training)
Learning Rate: 7e-5
Train Batch Size: 5
Num. Train Epochs: 50
