Keyword based Marathi Interface to the Database using Natural Language Processing

Abstract

Now a day’s a computer plays a vital role in almost all the sectors/application. The available information is stored and retrieved in/from the database. Database Management system (such as SQL, Oracle) allows to handle the database by creation of the database, querying the database, updating database, and administration of databases. So there is need of skilled person (database experts) in order to deal with database management system, but this is not always true. The common people with lack of expertise are there to handle the database, who doesn’t know about the syntax/format of queries to be fire on the database. Also they are more comfortable in their native languages like “Marathi”, “Hindi”, “Arabic”. It is essential to have the database interface in native language (e.g Marathi) so that the non-expert person can also interact with database for storing and extracting the data. In this paper we are proposing the Marathi language interface using Natural Language Processing (NLP) to handle the database. This interface can handle the queries in native language which may be syntactically and semantically incorrect and convert it into correct form.(e.g SQL query). Rest of the paper is organized as follows, Section I contains the introduction of natural language processing , Section II contain the related work of natural language interface to the database system, Section III contain the problem definition and proposed system, Section IV contain the architecture and algorithm of proposed system, section V explain the working of proposed system with example, Section VI give conclusion with future direction.
