A Natural Language Interface for Querying General and Individual Knowledge

Summary: Proposes a modular NL-to-query translator partitioning questions into general-knowledge and individual-knowledge parts, translating each with appropriate methods, then merging into a crowd-mining query. State-of-the-art NL parsing; experiments show improvements. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
