Summary:
One of the critical problems in natural language interfaces is the discordance between the expressions covered by the interface and those by the knowledge base. In the graph- based knowledge base such as an ontology, all possible queries can be prepared in advance. As a solution of the discordance problem in natural language interfaces, this paper proposes a method that translates a natural language query into a formal language query such as SPARQL. In this paper, a user query is translated into a formal language by choosing the most appropriate query from the prepared queries. The experimental results show a high accuracy and coverage for the given knowledge base.
Discussion:
There has always been a difficulty in translating from a natural language into a formal language. There are often too many subtle nuances that get overlooked. However, this system seems like it could be useful, and I thought that that it sounded interesting.
