Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products for active learning for natural language question answering are provided herein. A computer-implemented method includes generating a semantic signature of a natural language query; generating a SQL signature for a SQL query corresponding to the natural language query; determining whether a set of mappings includes a semantic signature matching the generated semantic signature, wherein each mapping in the set is between (i) a given semantic signature and (ii) a SQL signature representing a class of SQL queries corresponding to the given semantic signature; and in response to determining that the set of mappings does not include the generated semantic signature, adding a mapping between the generated semantic signature and the generated SQL signature to the set of mappings.
