QUEST: A Keyword Search System for Relational Data based on Semantic and Machine Learning Techniques
Summary: QUEST combines semantic and ML to translate keyword queries into SQL over relational data. Forward mappings to terms and a backward path-join are fused by Dempster-Shafer theory, delivering robust results with little training data and hidden data sources (Deep Web).
