Data

Four datasets (MlTables, ChemTables, DiSCoMat and SWDE) in our benchmark are available under the data directory.

Experiments

Below are the commands to reproduce paper results. Make sure you set up API_SOURCE (openai or azure) and BACKEND (model name) in the script. For open-source models, use scripts with suffix _os.sh.
