A Transfer-Learnable Natural Language Interface for Databases

Understand

Relational database management systems (RDBMSs) are powerful because they are able to optimize and answer queries against any relational database.

• A natural language interface (NLI) for a database, on the other hand, is tailored to support that specific database.
• In this work, we introduce a general purpose transfer-learnable NLI with the goal of learning one model that can be used as NLI for any relational database.
• We adopt the data management principle of separating data and its schema, but with the additional support for the idiosyncrasy and complexity of natural languages.
