SURVEY OF NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERFACE TO DATABASES (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper is an introduction to the natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDBS). First the applications of natural language processing (NLP) is presented. Some already developed systems are then discussed followed by the discussion of the components of NLIDB. Comparison of NLIDBS to corpus based, rule based and connectionist approaches are then discussed. The discussion then moves on to various techniques are discussed. Comparisons among already developed NLIDBs Systems described in tabular form.
