An intelligent approach to handling imperfect information in concept-based natural language queries
2002
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
The approaches are specifically applied to the Conceptual Query Language with Natural Language (CQL/NL) that is presented in Owei [2000]. ...
In either case, the effect could be disastrous for organizations. In this article, therefore, approaches are developed for handling imperfection in concept-based natural language queries. ...

Bio-SODA: Enabling Natural Language Question Answering over Knowledge Graphs without Training Data
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In particular, we introduce Bio-SODA, a natural language processing engine that does not require training data in the form of question-answer pairs for generating SPARQL queries. ...
In this paper, we focus on the challenges of natural language processing over knowledge graphs of scientific datasets. ...
Explainability in this context has therefore become an active area of research, with solutions proposed including translating back structured queries into natural language sentences [9, 21, 30] or summarizing ...

AR2SPARQL: An Arabic Natural Language Interface for the Semantic Web
2015
International Journal of Computer Applications
In the domain of English language, several efforts provided Natural Language (NL) interfaces to enable ordinary users to query ontologies using NL queries. ...
With the growing interest in supporting the Arabic language on the Semantic Web (SW), there is an emerging need to enable Arab users to query ontologies and RDF stores without being challenged with the ...
In the context of this work, we define a Natural Language (NL) interface as a system that accepts questions formulated in natural language and returns answers on the basis of a given knowledge base. ...

The effects of information request ambiguity and construct incongruence on query development
2001
Decision Support Systems
End users could translate natural language queries into pseudo-SQL that could be examined for precision before the queries were developed. ...
The results for ambiguity suggest that organizations might elicit better query development if end users were sensitized to the nature of ambiguities that could arise in their business contexts. ...
Ambiguity of information requests One problem in transforming a natural language request to an appropriate statement in the query language, i.e., of traversing the information requirement distance, is ...
