Abstract

Disclosed are various approaches for providing a natural language interface for searching databases. A natural language query is parsed to identify a plurality of tokens. At least one operator is identified with a machine-learning model based at least in part on the plurality of tokens. Next, at least one attribute and at least one respective attribute value are identified with a machine-learning model based at least in part on the plurality of tokens. Then, at least one constraint is identified with a machine-learning model based at least in part on the plurality of tokens. Finally, a machine language query is generated based at least in part on the at least one operator, the constraint(s), the attribute(s), and the respective attribute value(s).
