Abstract:

The present disclosure provides systems and methods that generate query templates that are expressed in a generic schema-agnostic language. The query templates can be generated “from scratch” or can be automatically generated from existing queries, a process which may be referred to as “templatizing” the existing queries. As one example, generation of query templates can be performed through an iterative process that iteratively generates candidate templates over time to optimize a coverage over a set of existing queries. After generation of the schema-agnostic query templates, the systems and methods described herein can automatically translate/map the templatized queries into “concrete,” schema-specific queries that can be evaluated over specific customer schemas/datasets. In this manner, a query template for a given semantic query (e.g., “return the names of all employees”), is required to be written only once.
