dc.description.abstract[Abstract]: Our work presents an effective and robust approach to Tabular Question Answering based on a zero-shot pipeline that uses a Large Language Model to generate executable code for extracting information from tables. Our system includes a modular architecture: a code generation module supported by column selection and type inference components to guide accurate code synthesis, together with an iterative repair mechanism for runtime errors into revised prompts. Our approach is successfully tested both in English and Spanish.
