Improving Text2Cypher with Test-Time Strategies

Session track: Modern Applications

Session time: 12:30 pm - 01:00 pm UTC November 12

Session description:

Text2Cypher systems translate natural language questions into Cypher queries that are executed on graph databases to retrieve structured results. In practice, this process is not always reliable. Even when generated queries appear correct, they often fail during execution due to syntax errors or mismatches with the underlying graph schema. This work focuses on improving reliability at test time, without changing the training process, by combining confidence-based decoding with structured filtering based on grammar and schema constraints.
