Introducing TableLLM, a 13 billion parameter large language model specifically designed to handle tabular data manipulation within documents and spreadsheets, optimizing for real-world office scenarios. TableLLM excels in understanding reasoning patterns with the help of a distant supervision training method that includes a reasoning process extension strategy and a cross-way validation strategy to ensure data quality. A tailored benchmark and a comprehensive evaluation pipeline attest to TableLLM’s superiority over existing LLMs.

Key Highlights:

• Tailored to Office Work: TableLLM’s ability to handle document and spreadsheet scenarios streamlines office work.
• Innovative Training: Incorporation of reasoning extension and cross-validation in training enhances performance.
• Benchmarking: Purpose-built benchmarks facilitate precise evaluations of TableLLM’s capabilities.
• Open Source: The team has released the model checkpoint, source code, benchmarks, and a web interface for broader usage.
