title = "Automated question answering using question templates that cover the conceptual model of the database",
abstract = "The question-answering system developed by this research matches one-sentence-long user questions to a number of question templates that cover the conceptual model of the database and describe the concepts, their attributes, and the relationships in form of natural language questions. A question template resembles a frequently asked question (FAQ). Unlike a static FAQ, however, a question template may contain entity slots that are replaced by data instances from the underlying database. During the question-answering process, the system retrieves relevant data instances and question templates, and offers one or several interpretations of the original question. The user selects an interpretation to be answered.",
