Information Retrieval using Natural Language Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In Database Management System (DBMS) is collection of interrelated data and set of programs to access and modify the data. In Relational DBMS (RDBMS), data is organized inform of tables. In order to retrieve information from the database, the end user requires the knowledge of database query language such as Structured Query Language (SQL). However, not every user is able to write SQL queries as they may not aware of structure of the database and they needs to learn SQL. So, there is a need for non-expert user to query relational databases in their natural language such as English. In this paper, we propose s Natural language Interfaces to Relational Databases (NLIRDB) to access the data in easier manner. The end user can submit the request in natural language. The query in natural language is then translated into equivalent SQL statement and finally SQL statement will be executed to extract desired information from the database. The proposed method allows non-expert user to access information from database.

Comparing XML-IR Query Formation Interfaces
XML information retrieval (XML-IR) systems differ from traditional information retrieval systems by using structure of XML documents to retrieve more specific units of information than the documents themselves. Users interact with XML-IR systems via structured queries that express their content and structural requirements. Historically, it has been common belief within the XML-IR community that...
متن کاملVoice Recognition Technology for Spreadsheet Navigation and Information Retrieval
Due to the large volume of data that spreadsheets can store, finding meaningful information can be a difficult task. Existing tools can be quite complex and difficult to master, especially for novice spreadsheet users. In the past Natural Language Interfaces have been used to improve the efficiency of using similar tools. This work aims to look at the use of a Natural Language Interface to prov...
متن کاملA Method for Development of Dialogue Managers for Natural Language Interfaces
This paper describes a method for the development of dialogue managers for natural language interfaces. A dialogue manager is presented designed on the basis of both a theoretical investigation of models for dialogue management and an analysis of empirical material. It is argued that for natural language interfaces many of the human interaction phenomena accounted for in, for instance, plan-bas...
متن کاملXOR - XML Oriented Retrieval Language
The wide acceptance and rapidly growing use of XML as a standard storage and retrieval data format blurs the historical divide that exists between Information Retrieval and Database Retrieval. On the structured database retrieval side it is now possible to support highly structured access to documents using XML specific tools such as XPath, XQuery, XQL and more. On the information retrieval sid...
متن کاملFormulating XML-IR Queries
XML information retrieval systems differ from traditional information retrieval systems by returning relevant portions of documents, rather than entire documents. Theoretically, this should better fulfil the information needs of users, especially in situations where their information need is very complex. However, if users are going to exploit this advantage then they need a query formation int...
متن کاملFuzzy Web-based Information Retrieval Systems
The main problem on the Web is to locate information. Some reasons for this arise from the inefficiency of interfaces, incorrect information organization and data structure issues. A fuzzy approach to information retrieval systems can mitigate these problems. Advantages of fuzzy logic over sharp ones are the retrieval of information items which partial match the query and their ranking of impor...
