Natural Language Search (NLS) extends the capabilities of search engines that perform keyword search allowing users to issue queries in a more "natural" language. The engine tries to understand the meaning of the queries and to map the…

Traditional query processing relies on engines that are carefully optimized and engineered by many experts. However, new techniques and user requirements evolve rapidly, and existing systems often cannot keep pace. At the same time, these…
