A Model of a Generic Natural Language Interface for Querying Database
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracting information from database is typically done by using a structured language such as SQL (Structured Query Language). But non expert users can’t use this later. Wherefore using Natural Language (NL) for communicating with database can be a powerful tool. But without any help, computers can’t understand this language; that is why it is essential to develop an interface able to translate user’s query given in NL into an equivalent one in Database Query Language (DBQL). This paper presents a model of a generic natural language query interface for querying database. This model is based on machine learning approach which allows interface to automatically improve its knowledge base through experience. The advantage of this interface is that it functions independently of the database language, content and model. Experimentations are realized to study the performance of this interface and make necessary corrections for its amelioration

This paper presents a method of querying databases by means of a natural languagelike interface which offers the advantage of minimal configuration necessary for porting the system. The method allows us to first automatically infer the set of possible queries that can apply to a given database, automatically generate a lexicon and grammar rules for expressing these queries, and then provide use...

Question Answering (QA) systems have profoundly evolved since their inception as natural language interfaces to databases. QA technology has indeed become state-of-the-art on open-domain, unstructured information retrieval and more recently touched the Semantic Web and the problem of querying structured data (e.g. RDF triples) on the Web. A natural new challenge is QA over data services, suppor...
