Abstract

Interface to Database is basically a system which is designed on the basis of Natural Languages. These type of Interfaces to Database form a stepping stone in the fields of Intelligence, Medical Science, Database Mining, Search Engines etc. The paper proposes a system namely an Advanced Web-based bilingual Domain Independent Interface to Database using Machine Learning approach that takes punjabi and hindi language as the input. Some of the main features that have been incorporated into the developed system are domain independency, bilingual approach and a user friendly web interface. Also important features such as acceptance of queries with spelling mistakes, multiword keywords along with other functions like the auto complete function have been introduced. Hence the main objective is to make the system more user friendly, efficient along with increasing its scope without compromising on complexity.
