‘I Understand What You Asked’: Question Interpreter for an AI-Based Business Analyst

Abstract

We propose the demonstration of a key component of our AI-based business analyst: a question interpreter that takes as input a question and displays its meaning in terms of a semantic interpretation. The semantic interpretation captures linguistic properties, entities and metrics in the question. The question interpreter is an application of well-studied Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques such as syntactic parsing, Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging, etc. The question interpreter is the first step of an AI-based business analyst that allows users to ask natural language questions on enterprise data.
