We study the pre-train + fine-tune strategy for data-to-text tasks. Our experiments indicate that text-to-text pre-training in the form of T5, enables simple, end-to-end transformer based models to outperform pipelined neural architectures tailored for data-to-text generation, as well as alternative language model based pre-training techniques such as BERT and GPT-2. Importantly, T5 pre-training leads to better generalization, as evidenced by large improvements on out-of-domain test sets. We hope our work serves as a useful baseline for future research, as transfer learning becomes ever more prevalent for data-to-text tasks.

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A modular T5-based pipeline using RDF triples, sentence aggregation, and style transfer generates factual text with subjective interpretations from tables, achieving moderate gains over several LLM baselines.
