Constructing Expressive Relational Queries with Dual-Specification Synthesis
Summary: Proposes dual-specification synthesis: pair an NLQ with an optional PBE-style table sketch so users can express varying schema/intent knowledge and disambiguate NL queries. Duoqest uses guided partial-query enumeration to efficiently synthesize SQL, beating SOTA on Spider. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
