CONVERSION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE QUERY

Abstract:

In accordance with implementations of the present disclosure, a solution for converting a natural language query is provided. In this solution, a first natural language query and a second natural language query for one or more data tables are received, wherein semantics of the second natural language query is dependent on the first natural language query. A third natural language query for one or more data tables is generated based on the first natural language query and the second natural language query, wherein semantics of the third natural language query is identical to the semantics of the second natural language query and independent of the first natural language query. In this way, this solution can convert a context-dependent natural language query into a context-independent natural language query, thereby enabling interfacing with any semantic parsers which can convert a natural language query into a computer-executable query.
