TL;DR

ESF-Bench is introduced, a challenging Enterprise Slot Filling benchmark consisting of 810 multi-turn samples and 6530 slots over 8 unique domains and curated using a taxonomy of the 57 most challenging slot-filling scenarios observed during real-world enterprise deployments.

Abstract

The rapid rise of large language models (LLMs) has driven transformative adoption across enterprises. However, deploying these models in real-world settings presents unique challenges due to complex system constraints and unexpected user behaviors. Among these applications, slot filling is essential for converting unstructured input into structured, actionable data. In this work, we introduce ESF-Bench, a challenging Enterprise Slot Filling benchmark consisting of 810 multi-turn samples and 6530 slots over 8 unique domains. Curated using a taxonomy of the 57 most challenging slot-filling scenarios observed during real-world enterprise deployments, ESF-Bench exposes notable limitations in current state-of-the-art LLMs, with GPT-OSS-120b low successfully extracting slots for only 20.7% of benchmark samples. To support continued research in this area, we publicly release the benchmark dataset, taxonomy, and accompanying evaluation code on GitHub.

Automating End-to-End Hybrid Query Processing: Benchmark, Solution, and Insights

Hybrid queries—natural language questions over structured data that require both database capabilities and LLM reasoning—have recently emerged as a prominent research topic. However, existing solutions remain overly dependent on manual workflows, and current benchmarks are limited in scale and diversity. To bridge this gap, we present (1) HyQBench \xspace, a large-scale benchmark with 60\sim 90× more queries than prior work, built on 3× more databases; (2) AutoHyQ \xspace, an automated pipeline that can execute existing methods without manual intervention; (3) multi-dimensional, fine-grained evaluation metrics for comprehensive assessment. Through extensive experiments across multiple hybrid query approaches on diverse LLM backbones, we reveal their strengths and limitations, and identify research opportunities for advancing this emerging field. Our code and data are available at https://github.com/XMUDM/HyQBench.

Evaluating LLMs in Database Scenarios: A Lifecycle Benchmark for Assessing Their Potential in Core Database Tasks

Large Language Models (LLMs) are transforming database interaction paradigms, evolving from simple query translators to autonomous database administrators (DBAs). However, current evaluation benchmarks remain disproportionately fixated on Text-to-SQL tasks, neglecting the holistic Database Lifecycle-from initial schema design to post-deployment maintenance. This narrow focus fails to capture the diverse capabilities required for real-world database management. To bridge this gap, we introduce DBLifeBench, the first benchmark to evaluate LLMs across five critical lifecycle phases: Design, Implementation, Operation, Debugging, and Maintenance. Furthermore, addressing the cognitive mismatch between ambiguous natural language and complex SQL logic, we propose Progressive-Text2SQL, a novel task utilizing structured reasoning graphs to mimic human iterative problem-solving. Our extensive evaluation reveals a critical insight: while general-purpose models demonstrate balanced performance, specialized Text-to-SQL models suffer from ``catastrophic forgetting''in non-coding phases like design and maintenance. DBLifeBench serves as a foundational step toward evaluating and building true full-stack database intelligence.

Benchmarking LLMs on File System Design and Implementation

Large Language Models (LLMs) are fundamentally transforming computer system research and development. As we employ LLMs in file system (fs) development, it is essential to understand their capabilities, limitations, and operational efficiency for domain-specific tasks. We present \phi-Bench, an LLM benchmarking framework for fs-specific tasks. To facilitate benchmarking, we develop six types of tasks in \phi-Bench: basic understanding, basic implementation, performance modeling, debugging, optimization, and new feature development. Each type emphasizes different LLM capabilities: instruction following, knowledge recall, reasoning, or coding. To create high-quality tasks while achieving broad coverage with minimal human effort, we develop a new AI-assisted task generation pipeline in addition to expert-written and textbook-adapted tasks. With 505 tasks in \phi-Bench, we conduct an empirical study with both open source (DeepSeek-V4-Flash, GLM-5.1, and MiniMax-M2.7) and proprietary (Claude-Opus-4.7, GPT-5.2, and Gemini-3.1-Pro) LLMs. Our study discloses the model efficiency for different tasks, causes of failed fs tasks, and techniques for mitigating LLM failures. We will open source \phi-Bench to facilitate public research on using LLMs for fs development.
