SIRIUS-SQL: Anchoring Multi-Candidate Text-to-SQL in Execution FeedbackLeo Luo, Haining Xie, Siqi Shen et al.
Text-to-SQL on complex schemas is unreliable on a single pass, so recent systems generate multiple SQL candidates and let voting filter out errors. Yet voting alone is not enough, because the multi-candidate recipe has three coupled weaknesses: 1) sampling more from a single generator produces increasingly redundant candidates, 2) existing pipelines apply one generic correction to every non-clean execution result, while runtime errors, timeouts, and empty results each indicate a different distance from correctness, and 3) existing selectors rely on a single angle such as result-majority voting or pairwise SQL comparison, missing what other angles would have caught. We present SIRIUS-SQL, which addresses all three weaknesses. A difficulty-smoothing RL recipe trains SIRIUS-32B to generate diverse executable SQL candidates, paired with a generalist LLM that fills in gaps left by the specialist. An execution-grounded lifecycle classifies each outcome and applies targeted repair before candidates re-enter the pool. A confidence-gated hybrid selector combines execution-result agreement with pairwise SQL-form judgment, escalating only near-tied cases to a deterministic structural check. SIRIUS-SQL reaches 75.88% on BIRD dev and 91.20% on SPIDER test. Two of three generalist pairings surpass Agentar-Scale-SQL, the strongest published multi-candidate system on BIRD dev.

ZhuJiu: A Multi-dimensional, Multi-faceted Chinese Benchmark for Large Language ModelsBaoli Zhang, Haining Xie, Pengfan Du et al.
The unprecedented performance of large language models (LLMs) requires comprehensive and accurate evaluation. We argue that for LLMs evaluation, benchmarks need to be comprehensive and systematic. To this end, we propose the ZhuJiu benchmark, which has the following strengths: (1) Multi-dimensional ability coverage: We comprehensively evaluate LLMs across 7 ability dimensions covering 51 tasks. Especially, we also propose a new benchmark that focuses on knowledge ability of LLMs. (2) Multi-faceted evaluation methods collaboration: We use 3 different yet complementary evaluation methods to comprehensively evaluate LLMs, which can ensure the authority and accuracy of the evaluation results. (3) Comprehensive Chinese benchmark: ZhuJiu is the pioneering benchmark that fully assesses LLMs in Chinese, while also providing equally robust evaluation abilities in English. (4) Avoiding potential data leakage: To avoid data leakage, we construct evaluation data specifically for 37 tasks. We evaluate 10 current mainstream LLMs and conduct an in-depth discussion and analysis of their results. The ZhuJiu benchmark and open-participation leaderboard are publicly released at http://www.zhujiu-benchmark.com/ and we also provide a demo video at https://youtu.be/qypkJ89L1Ic.

SiriusHelper: An LLM Agent-Based Operations Assistant for Big Data PlatformsYu Shen, Shiyang Liu, Qihang He et al.
Big data platforms are widely used in modern enterprises, and an in-production intelligent assistant is increasingly important to help users quickly find actionable guidance and reduce operational burden. While recent LLM+RAG assistants provide a natural interface, they face practical challenges in real deployments: limited scenario coverage across both general consultation and domain-specific troubleshooting workflows, inefficient knowledge access due to inadequate multi-hop retrieval and flat knowledge organization, and high maintenance cost because escalated tickets are unstructured and hard to convert into assistant improvements and reusable SOPs. In this paper, we present SiriusHelper, a deployed intelligent assistant for big data platforms. SiriusHelper serves as a unified online assistant that automatically identifies user intent and routes queries to the right handling path, including dedicated expert workflows for specialized scenarios (e.g., SQL execution diagnosis). To support complex troubleshooting, SiriusHelper combines a DeepSearch-driven mechanism with a priority-based hierarchical knowledge base to enable multi-hop retrieval without context overload, thus improving answer reliability and latency. To reduce expert overhead, SiriusHelper further introduces automated ticket understanding and SOP distillation: it diagnoses the assistant failure reason (e.g., missing knowledge or wrong routing) and extracts domain-specific SOPs to continuously enrich the knowledge base. Experiments and online deployment on Tencent Big Data platform show that SiriusHelper outperforms representative alternatives and reduces online ticket volume by 20.8\%.
