Description
The goal of this project is to apply the major algorithms developed in the EU-Project INODE (Intelligent Open Data Exploration, www.inode-project.eu) to Swiss Open Data. The focus is on developing multi-lingual extensions for so-called Natural Language to SQL systems (NL-to-SQL) where a natural language question is automatically translated into the database query language SQL using artificial intelligence solutions such as transformers, i.e. advanced neural networks. The main idea is to enable users to access databases with the major languages spoken in Switzerland.
