Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for augmenting training data for training a machine learning model to generate database queries. Training data comprising a first training example comprising a first natural language utterance, a logical form for the first natural language utterance, and associated first metadata is obtained. From the first training example, a template utterance is generated. A second natural language utterance is generated by filling slots in the template utterance based on a database schema and database values. Updated metadata is produced based on the first metadata and the second natural language utterance. A second training example is generated, comprising the second natural language utterance, the logical form for the first natural language utterance, and the updated metadata. The training data is augmented by adding the second training example. A machine learning model is trained to generate a database query comprising the database operation using the augmented training data set.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for converting a natural language utterance to an intermediate database query representation. An input string is generated by concatenating a natural language utterance with a database schema representation for a database. Based on the input string, a first encoder generates one or more embeddings of the natural language utterance and the database schema representation. A second encoder encodes relations between elements in the database schema representation and words in the natural language utterance based on the one or more embeddings. A grammar-based decoder generates an intermediate database query representation based on the encoded relations and the one or more embeddings. Based on the intermediate database query representation and an interface specification, a database query is generated in a database query language.

Abstract: A battery module and an intermediate module for use together in a stack of modules permit flexible electrical configurations of the stack. The battery module has multiple electrically conductive paths extending between its top and bottom sides; one of the paths is connected in series with the module's cells, while at least one of the other paths acts as a pass-through that allows power or communications to pass through the module. The intermediate module also contains pass-through electrical paths that route power or communications from one battery module on one of the top and bottom sides of the intermediate module to the pass-through path of the battery module on the other of the top and bottoms ides of the intermediate module. This allows the modules in a stack to be electrically connected together in different series-connected groups.
