Building Usable Menu-Based Natural Language Interfaces To Databases
Summary: Menu-based interaction paired with a semantic-grammar NL engine to overcome usability and maintenance costs of database interfaces. Parameters from the data dictionary drive automatic grammar generation for selected data subparts, enabling automatic NL interfaces that group related tables, model user rights, and constrain join-path views.
