  • Conversational interface for generating and executing controlled natural language queries on a relational database
    Patent number: 11604790
    Abstract: A conversational analytics system may provide for a conversational interface to any relational database. A controlled natural language may be constructed in an automated manner from a given database (e.g., from schema and values associated with a relational database). For instance, a user natural language expression may be converted to an expression in the constructed controlled natural language and the controlled natural language expression may be converted into a sequence of one or more queries in a query language (e.g., queries in structured query language (SQL)). Such an intermediate controlled natural language may provide queries without ambiguity (e.g., as each expression or phrase in the controlled natural language may be mapped to one sequence of SQL queries). Accordingly, any natural language user utterance that ultimately follows the controlled natural language may be automatically converted into a sequence of one or more SQL queries sent to the database.
