  • 将表格划分为语义连贯的区块,分层选择相关行列信息
  • 在WikiTableQuestions和TabFact上优于全表提示和其他方法
  • 适合处理复杂、大规模表格,尤其擅长定位关键证据

大型语言模型在表格推理中表现强劲,但随着表格规模和复杂度增加,其性能因无关上下文及证据定位困难而下降。现有方法通常对全表或单一简化视图进行推理,仍可能掩盖重要的行-列关系。我们提出PARTAB(分区感知的表格推理框架),构建语言模型与表格间的结构化证据接口。PARTAB将查询相关的证据表示为语义连贯、行链接的表格区域,并在列组和行级分区上进行分层选择,再组合选定证据生成答案。我们在多个表格推理基准上评估了PARTAB,涵盖问答、事实验证和数值推理任务。结果表明,PARTAB在所有任务中均优于全表提示和若干近期方法,在WikiTableQuestions和TabFact上表现优异,且在数值推理上保持竞争力。额外分析显示,语义分区和定向证据选择提升了证据定位精度,显著减少推理上下文,对复杂表格带来更大收益。这些结果证明了结构化、分区感知证据构建在可扩展表格推理中的价值。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown strong capabilities in table reasoning, but their effectiveness degrades as tables grow in size and complexity due to irrelevant context and difficulty localizing the evidence required for reasoning. Existing approaches typically reason over either the full table or a single reduced view, which can still obscure important row-column relationships. We introducePARTAB (Partition-Aware Reasoning overTables), a framework that constructs a structured evidence interface between the LLM and the table. PARTAB represents query-relevant evidence as semantically coherent, row-linked table regions and performs hierarchical selection over column groups and row-level partitions before composing the selected evidence for answer generation. We evaluate PARTAB on multiple table reasoning benchmarks, covering question answering, fact verification, and numerical reasoning. PARTAB consistently improves over full-table prompting and several recent table reasoning methods, achieving strong performance on WikiTableQuestions and TabFact while remaining competitive on numerical reasoning. Additional analyses show that semantic partitioning and targeted evidence selection improve evidence localization, substantially reduce the reasoning context, and provide larger benefits on complex tables. These results demonstrate the value of structured, partition aware evidence construction for scalable table reasoning.
