Abstract

Disclosed arc systems, methods, and computer readable media for converting a natural language query into a logical query. The method embodiment comprises receiving a natural language query and convcxiing the natural language query using an extensible engine to generate a logical query, the extensible engine being linked to the toolkit and knowledge base- In one embodiment, a natural language query can be processed in a domain independent method to generate a logical query.
