However, having a monolithic model may not always be the best strategy, as examples could vary widely. In this work, we explore a different learning protocol that treats each example as a unique pseudo-task, by reducing the original learning problem to a few-shot meta-learning scenario with the help of a domain-dependent relevance function. When evaluated on the WikiSQL dataset, our approach leads to faster convergence and achieves 1.1%--5.4% absolute accuracy gains over the non-meta-learning counterparts.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/natural-language-to-structured-query-generation-via-meta-learning/}, edition = {NAACL HLT 2018}, }
