Generation of Training Examples for Tabular Natural Language Inference

Summary: Tenet automates TNLI data generation on tables via SQL-based evidence-queries and semantic-queries for varied reasoning. It generates counterfactuals by injecting errors and uses table-only generation to yield diverse, human-like TNLI examples, competitive with manually written data.
