TL;DR: This paper introduces R-KinetiQuery, a groundbreaking framework for domain-adaptive sign language to SQL query translation
Abstract: SQL is widely used for managing relational databases and conducting interactive data analysis. Now, various natural language interfaces have emerged, designed to simplify the process of crafting SQL queries by translating natural language commands into executable SQL-Code. However, the communication preferences of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community have been largely overlooked.
This paper introduces R-KinetiQuery, a groundbreaking framework for domain-adaptive sign language to SQL query translation, underpinned by a rigorous mathematical foundation synthesizing functional analysis, ergodic theory, and information geometry. At its core, R-KinetiQuery addresses the fundamental challenge of domain adaptation in the context of multimodal language translation, specifically tailored to bridge the gap between sign language communication and database query languages. A key innovation lies in our application of ergodic theory to analyze the long-term behavior of R-KinetiQuery under domain shift. We establish an ergodic theorem for the model's time-averaged operator, demonstrating its convergence to the expected behavior across domains. This result provides a robust foundation for the model's stability and adaptability in non-stationary environments. Our information-theoretic analysis reveals a deep connection between R-KinetiQuery and the Information Bottleneck principle. We derive a variational bound that explicitly quantifies the trade-off between compression and prediction in the model's latent representation, providing insights into its domain-invariant feature learning.
Empirically, we demonstrate R-KinetiQuery's superior performance on a diverse set of domain adaptation tasks, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art baselines. Our experiments span a wide range of domain shifts, from subtle variations in sign language dialects to dramatic changes in database schemas and query complexities.
