| Abstract: | There is growing consensus that some of the most crucial questions
concerning the feasibility and desirability of natural language
interfaces to databases can only be resolved by empirical research.
This paper reports the results of several empirical studies which
investigated the same domain-independent natural language query system,
using various applications in two different natural languages - English
and German. Taken together, these experiments involved about 100
subjects and over 12,000 queries, constituting the bulk of empirical
evaluations of natural query language systems reported to date. Some
definitive results are derived from the combined experience, and plans
are outlined to resolve several of the remaining issues. |
