TableLlama seems to struggle with transferring to new tasks

[wbbeyourself]

The model seems to struggle with transferring to new tasks, as the output results appear to be fitted to those Table-Instruct tasks. Despite my instructions and inputs being in Chinese, I still expect it to understand the tables well, comprehend the tasks, and perform task transfer effectively. However, it doesn't. TableLlama cannot summarize the table content.

For your task, you can refer to our prompt of highlighted cells QA task https://github.com/OSU-NLP-Group/TableLlama/blob/main/imgs/fetaqa.png. Add a question part to explicitly highlight all the cells with special tokens [HIGHLIGHTED_BEGIN] and [HIGHLIGHTED_END].
