PoTable: Towards Systematic Thinking via Stage-oriented Plan-then-Execute Reasoning on Tables
In recent years, table reasoning has garnered substantial research interest, particularly its integration with Large Language Models (LLMs) which revolutionize natural language applications. Existing typical LLM-based studies realize step-by-step reasoning, promoting the capabilities in table understanding and analyzing. While these approaches emphasize autonomous exploration to accomplish the task objective, they overlook systematic thinking in the reasoning process, leading to potential risks of omitted steps, disorganized logic and misleading results. In this paper, we propose PoTable, a novel stage-oriented plan-then-execute reasoning approach that achieves systematic thinking on tables. Specifically, PoTable deploys several distinct tabular analytical stages with clear objectives and achieves stage-by-stage reasoning. To accomplish the stage-specific goal, PoTable conducts plan-then-execute reasoning, which first plans the operation chain under the stage objective, and then executes each operation sequentially through code generation, real-time running and feedback processing. As a result, PoTable can produce reliable table reasoning results with highly accurate, steply commented and completely executable programs. It possesses a high degree of alignment with a distinguished tabular data analyst, offering advantages of high accuracy and explainability. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments over four evaluation datasets from WikiTQ and TabFact benchmarks, where the results demonstrate the effectiveness of PoTable, as well as the efficiency and explainability.
