Patent number: 11222013Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for building a library of custom named entities for a database environment and using the library for processing natural language search queries. At configuration time, custom named entities are extracted or derived from a search model or the database environment. Records for the custom entities with associated database unique identifiers and tags are stored in a library. Custom entities can be based on labels of database objects, variants thereof, or domain values. At search time, a natural language query is tokenized and matched with custom entities from the library, and with other predefined named entities, to obtained structured search descriptors. For more efficient search, compound entities can be identified in the search string, comprising a custom entity and a value, or a custom entity and another token sequence. Variations and examples are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: January 11, 2022Assignee: SAP SEInventors: Erika Fonseca de Lima, Juergen Hofmann, Thomas Finke
