These models have great potential to enhance database query systems, enabling more intuitive and semantic query mechanisms. Our model leverages LLM’s deep learning architecture to interpret and process natural language queries and translate them into accurate database queries. The system integrates an LLM-powered semantic parser that translates user input into structured queries that can be understood by the database management system. First, the user query is pre-processed, the text is normalized, and the ambiguity is removed. This is followed by semantic parsing, where the LLM interprets the pre-processed text and identifies key entities and relationships. This is followed by query generation, which converts the parsed information into a structured query format and tailors it to the target database schema. Finally, there is query execution and feedback, where the resulting query is executed on the database and the results are returned to the user. The system also provides feedback mechanisms to improve and optimize future query interpretations. By using advanced LLMs for model implementation and fine-tuning on diverse datasets, the experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the accuracy and usability of database queries, making data retrieval easy for users without specialized knowledge.展开更多

This paper proposes a new approach to query expansion based on semantics and statistics Firstly automatic relevance feedback method is used to generate a candidate expansion word set. Then the expanded query words are selected from the set based on the semantic similarity and seman- tic relevancy between the candidate words and the original words. Experiments show the new approach is effective for Web retrieval and out-performs the conventional expansion approaches.展开更多

In this paper, we present an efficient system for managing and analyzing PB level structured data called Banian. Banian overcomes the storage structure limitation of relational database and effectively integrates interactive query with large-scale storage management. It provides a uniform query interface for cross-platform datasets and thus shows favorable compatibility and scalability. Banian's system architecture mainly includes three layers:(1) a storage layer using HDFS for the distributed storage of massive data;(2) a scheduling and execution layer employing the splitting and scheduling technology of parallel database; and(3)an application layer providing a cross-platform query interface and supporting standard SQL. We evaluate Banian using PB level Internet data and the TPC-H benchmark. The results show that when compared with Hive, Banian improves the query performance to a maximum of 30 times and achieves better scalability and concurrency.展开更多

The CaseBase is designed on the grammar rule of Chinese query sentences, the cases that pick up the character of standard query language (SQL) and are expressed in form semantics. In retrieval, the concepts of target comparability, structure comparability and individual comparability are given. The algorithm of case retrieval searches first the case of structure comparability and then individual comparability. The SQL reasoning algorithm that first parses form semantics, then reasons on structure comparability, and finally reasons on individual comparability is realized. In the actual GIS, the structure comparability and individual comparability are tested respectively. The experiment results show that the strategy of CBR is correct and feasible. With the size of CaseBase increasing through studies, the CaseBase will eventually be perfected. The effect of retrieval and reasoning will become better and better.展开更多

In this paper, a method of query expansion for Chinese IR by using a decaying co-occurrence model is proposed and realized. The model is an extension of the traditional co-occurrence model by adding a decaying factor that decreases the mutual information when the distance between the terms increases. Experimental results on TREC-9 collections show this query expansion method results in significant improvements over the IR without query expansion.展开更多

Then three heuristic principles for logic query plan optimization, namely, the filtered basic graph pattern (FBGP) principle, the triple pattern chain principle and the seed URIs principle, are proposed. The three principles contribute to decrease the intermediate solutions and increase the types of queries that can be answered. The effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed approach is evaluated. The experimental results show that more query results can be returned with less cost, thus enabling users to develop the full potential of the web of linked data.展开更多

RNNk query is to retrieve all the data points which use a query point as one of their k nearest neighbors. To answer the RNNk of queries efficiently, the properties of the Voronoi cell and the space-dividing regions are applied. The RNNk of the given point can be found without computing its nearest neighbors every time by using the rank Voronoi cell. With the elementary RNNk query result, the candidate data points of reverse nearest neighbors can he further limited by the approximation with sweepline and the partial extension of query region Q. The approximate minimum average distance (AMAD) can be calculated by the approximate RNNk without the restriction of k. Experimental results indicate the efficiency and the effectiveness of the algorithm and the approximate method in three varied data distribution spaces. The approximate query and the calculation method with the high precision and the accurate recall are obtained by filtrating data and pruning the search space.展开更多
