在这个演示中，我们提出了NaLIR，一个通用的交互式自然语言接口查询关系数据库。NaLIR可以接受逻辑复杂的英语句子作为查询输入。这个查询首先被转换成SQL查询，其中可能包括聚合、嵌套和各种类型的连接等，然后针对RDBMS进行评估。在这个演示中，我们展示了NaLIR，虽然远远不能通过图灵测试，但在实践中是完全可用的，并且能够处理各种应用领域中非常复杂的查询。此外，我们还展示了如何精心设计的交互式通信可以避免误解，最小的用户负担。
In this demo, we present NaLIR, a generic interactive natural language interface for querying relational databases. NaLIR can accept a logically complex English language sentence as query input. This query is first translated into a SQL query, which may include aggregation, nesting, and various types of joins, among other things, and then evaluated against an RDBMS. In this demonstration, we show that NaLIR, while far from being able to pass the Turing test, is perfectly usable in practice, and able to handle even quite complex queries in a variety of application domains. In addition, we also demonstrate how carefully designed interactive communication can avoid misinterpretation with minimum user burden.
