The Transatlantic Renewal of Textual Practices: Philology, Religion, and Classicism in Madame de Staël, Herder, and Emerson
Creators: Wagner, Ulrike

Subjects: German literature

description: This dissertation demonstrates how the rise of historical criticism in Germany transformed practices of reading, writing, and public address in the related fields of classicism and biblical criticism in a transnational context. In the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, writers on both sides of the Atlantic rendered these practices foundational to the goals of self-formation, cultural and spiritual renewal, and educational reform. In this process, Germaine de Staël's De l'Allemagne (1814) played a key role in disseminating new historically informed modes of teaching, preaching, translating, and reconstructing secular and religious texts among Transcendentalists. I show that her cultural study epitomizes crucial characteristics and functions of the historically informed textual practices that Johann Gottfried Herder's works articulated paradigmatically in Germany and which we find refracted in reviews, addresses, essays, and translations by many Antebellum American scholars, especially Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The Transformation of American Jewry and Men's Headgear: The Story of the Yarmulke from 1945 to 1975

description: On September 13th of 1970, the New York Times marveled that “New York is
probably the only state where candidates campaign with yarmulkes in their pockets–if they’re not already on their heads– and with good reason.” In the city with the largest Jewish population in the world, the yarmulke was the identifying religious and cultural symbol marking one as a Jew and displaying identification with the Jewish community. According to the Times report, even gentile politicians would don this uniquely Jewish garment. Yet, until just a few years earlier American Jews shunned yarmulkes, avoiding wearing them in public for fear of ridicule, violence, or unwanted attention, leading most
Jewish men to go bareheaded or wear a hat instead. Over the course of the years from 1945, marking the end of World War II, to the early 1970s, American Jews began wearing yarmulkes openly in much greater numbers and contesting policies across public life that restricted or prohibited male headgear. This thesis considers the change between the early period of the twentieth century where the yarmulke was rarely worn in public or written about in the media and the postwar years from 1945 through the 1970s, when there was a minor eruption of writing about Jewish head covering followed by gradual acceptance in general public institutions. What inspired American Jews to challenge the status quo and stand up for a practice that would differentiate them from their peers and colleagues? Why did Jews across the religious spectrum take up instruments of advocacy and legal action to ensure protection for those who opted to wear yarmulkes, when they believed, at most, that male head covering was not a religious obligation, but rather a “pious practice,” custom or symbol? Finally, considering that according to Jewish tradition, any head covering is sufficient, why was it the yarmulke that became the overwhelming favorite?

description: A decade ago, only 10% of U.S. healthcare organizations used an electronic health record (EHR), whereas more than 99% do today. The rapid adoption of EHRs has radically transformed communication of health information. Previously, health records consisted of providers handwriting notes in paper charts, rarely seen by outsiders. Today, EHRs integrate information from dozens of sources, to be used by providers, administrators, researchers, and increasingly, patients. Last year alone, an estimated 100 million Americans interacted with their own health records through patient-facing systems. This information has been used to prevent medical errors, reduce nonadherence to treatment, increase shared decision-making, and improve health outcomes. However, failure to comprehend this information can negate any potential benefits and even cause medically-harmful miscommunication. Therefore, it is critical to represent health information using methods that promote patients' comprehension. Despite the need for better representation, today's patient-facing systems do little more than present unexplained data, and limited guidance has been given by research or policy. In this thesis, we present new evidence about representation of health information in patient-facing systems, and we use this evidence to develop informatics methods that promote comprehension. Two aims center on (1) medical abbreviations and acronyms, one of the biggest barriers to patients' comprehension of their health records, and (2) changes in patient-reported outcomes, one of the most important informants of chronic disease management. We assess challenges with representing this information to patients, using randomized trials and qualitative studies. Then, we develop and evaluate an array of informatics methods for overcoming challenges, specifically: (1) machine learning methods for automated expansion of medical abbreviations and acronyms, and (2) information visualization methods for representing changes in patient-reported outcomes. In the future, these interventions can be implemented in patient-facing systems to optimize comprehension. Our evidence will guide strategies for meaningful communication that, ultimately, will build trust between patients and the healthcare system that serves them.
Generalized Berry phase for a bosonic Bogoliubov system with exceptional points

description: We discuss the topology of Bogoliubov excitation bands from a Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice. Since the Bogoliubov equation for a bosonic system is non-Hermitian, complex eigenvalues often appear and induce dynamical instability. As a function of momentum, the onset of appearance and disappearance of complex eigenvalues is an exceptional point (EP), which is a point where the Hamiltonian is not diagonalizable and hence the Berry connection and curvature are ill-defined, preventing defining topological invariants. In this paper, we propose a systematic procedure to remove EPs from the Brillouin zone by introducing an imaginary part of the momentum. We then define the Berry phase for a one-dimensional bosonic Bogoliubov system. Extending the argument for Hermitian systems, the Berry phase for an inversion-symmetric system is shown to be $Z_2$. As concrete examples, we numerically investigate two toy models and confirm the bulk-edge correspondence even in the presence of complex eigenvalues. The $Z_2$ invariant associated with particle-hole symmetry and the winding number for a time-reversal-symmetric system are also discussed.

Urban transportation policy

description: The governance of urban transport involves a complex amalgam of intergovernmental actors, revenue sources and normative justifications. In recent decades, there has been a clear shift toward decentralized approaches to urban transport investment. This devolution of responsibility supports the development and deployment of new governance strategies that rely heavily on sub-regional implementation strategies and that justify urban transport in terms of economic development, not mobility impacts. This dissertation provides a grounded view of the devolution of urban transport planning through an in-depth case study of the implementation of a modern streetcar investment in Kansas City, Missouri. Using a combination of institutional analysis and phronesis, it illuminates the antecedents of local governance strategies, like value capture and non-profit governance, and shows how local conditions and history are shaping transport policy in unanticipated ways. While new governance strategies support enhanced investment, they also shape who benefits from new investments. In the Kansas City case, policies in the streetcar’s proximity emphasized the importance of lifestyle diversity and nurturing the development of an emerging arts community but eschewed notions of race and income diversity in ways that reflect and exacerbate the city’s dismal history of segregation. Devolution is facilitating new governance arrangements that reflect local conditions but, as this case shows, these new strategies may also be setting urban transport on a troubling institutional trajectory that – without intervention – will only lead us away from equitable and inclusive cities.

description: A symmetry-preserving truncation of the strong-interaction bound-state equations is used to calculate the spectrum of ground-state $J=1/2^+$, $3/2^+$ $(qq^\prime q^{\prime\prime})$-baryons, where $q, q^\prime, q^{\prime\prime} \in \{u,d,s,c,b\}$, their first positive-parity excitations and parity partners. Using two parameters, a description of the known spectrum of 39 such states is obtained, with a mean-absolute-relative-difference between calculation and experiment of 3.6(2.7)%. From this foundation, the framework is subsequently used to predict the masses of 90 states not yet seen empirically.

description: Starting from the strong-coupling limit of an extended Hubbard model, we develop a spin-fermion theory to study the insulating phase and pairing symmetry of the superconducting phase in twisted bilayer graphene. Assuming that the insulating phase is an anti-ferromagnetic insulator, we show that fluctuations of the anti-ferromagnetic order in the conducting phase can mediate superconducting pairing. Using a self-consistent mean-field analysis, we find that the pairing wave function has a chiral d-wave symmetry. Consistent with this observation, we show explicitly the existence of chiral Majorana edge modes by diagonalizing our proposed Hamiltonian on a finite-sized system. These results establish twisted bilayer graphene as a promising platform to realize topological superconductivity.

description: In some respects the black hole plays the same role in gravitation that the atom played in the nascent quantum mechanics. This analogy suggests that black hole mass $M$ might have a discrete spectrum. I review the physical arguments for the expectation that black hole horizon area eigenvalues are uniformly spaced, or equivalently, that the spacing between stationary black hole mass levels behaves like 1/M. This sort of spectrum has also emerged in a variety of formal approaches to black hole quantization by a number of workers (with some notable exceptions). If true, this result indicates a distortion of the semiclassical Hawking spectrum which could be observable even for macroscopic black holes. Black hole entropy suggests that the mentioned mass levels should be degenerate to the tune of an exponential in $M^2$, as first noted by Mukhanov. This has implications for the statistics of the radiation. I also discuss open questions: whether radiative decay will spread the levels beyond recognition, whether extremal black holes can be described by this scheme, etc. I then describe an elementary algebra for the relevant black hole observables, an outcome of work by Mukhanov and myself, which reproduces the uniformly spaced area spectrum.

description: A generalised inverse scattering method has been developed for arbitrary n dimensional Lax equations. Subsequently, the method has been used to obtain N soliton solutions of a vector higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation, proposed by us. It has been shown that under suitable reduction, vector higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation reduces to higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The infinite number of conserved quantities have been obtained by solving a set of coupled Riccati equation. A gauge equivalence is shown between the vector higher order nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the generalized Landau Lifshitz equation and the Lax pair for the latter equation has also been constructed in terms of the spin field, establishing direct integrability of the spin system.

description: In 896 Pope Stephen VI put the corpse of his predecessor, Pope Formosus, on trial in a Church synod in Rome, known since as the Cadaver Synod. The pontificate and the ordinations of Formosus were annulled and he was reburied in a pilgrims' cemetery from which his body was quickly removed and thrown into the Tiber. It still is generally assumed that Formosus was tried as revenge for his having betrayed Lambert of Spoleto by inviting Arnulf of Carinthia to become emperor, and that Pope Stephen VI was carrying out the wishes of Lambert and his mother. This dissertation, by examining the entire career of Formosus as well as the manuscript evidence for the Cadaver Synod and the 898 Synod of Ravenna, which overturned it, will present a new view of what happened in this neglected period of European history. In so doing, it has reached very different conclusions about the trial and its purpose.

description: The elliptic flow splitting $Δv_2$ between $\bar{u}$ and $u$ quarks as well as between $π^-$ and $π^+$ in midcentral Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV has been studied, based on the framework of an extended multiphase transport model with the partonic evolution described by the chiral kinetic equations of motion. Within the available statistics, the slope of $Δv_2$ between $\bar{u}$ and $u$ quarks with respect to the electric charge asymmetry $A_{ch}$ from the linear fit is found to be negative, due to the correlation between the velocity and the coordinate in the initial parton phase-space distribution. Simulations with the magnetic field in QGP overestimate the splitting of the spin polarization between $Λ$ and $\barΛ$ observed experimentally, with the latter more consistent with results under the magnetic field in vacuum. Considering the uncertainties from the magnetic field, the quark-antiquark vector interaction, and the hadronization, as well as the hadronic evolution, our study shows that the experimentally observed positive slope of $Δv_2$ with respect to $A_{ch}$ is not likely due to the chiral magnetic wave.

description: We describe an approach that allows us to deduce the limiting return times distribution for arbitrary sets to be compound Poisson distributed. We establish a relation between the limiting return times distribution and the probability of the cluster sizes, where clusters consist of the portion of points that have finite return times in the limit where random return times go to infinity. In the special case of periodic points we recover the known Pólya-Aeppli distribution which is associated with geometrically distributed cluster sizes. We apply this method to several examples the most important of which is synchronisation of coupled map lattices. For the invariant absolutely continuous measure we establish that the returns to the diagonal is compound Poisson distributed where the coefficients are given by certain integrals along the diagonal.

description: We consider the problem of uniqueness of certain simultaneity structures in flat spacetime. Absolute simultaneity is specified to be a non-trivial equivalence relation which is invariant under the automorphism group Aut of spacetime. Aut is taken to be the identity-component of either the inhomogeneous Galilei group or the inhomogeneous Lorentz group. Uniqueness of standard simultaneity in the first, and absence of any absolute simultaneity in the second case are demonstrated and related to certain group theoretic properties. Relative simultaneity with respect to an additional structure X on spacetime is specified to be a non-trivial equivalence relation which is invariant under the subgroup in Aut that stabilises X. Uniqueness of standard Einstein simultaneity is proven in the Lorentzian case when X is an inertial frame. We end by discussing the relation to previous work of others.

description: This dissertation investigates the tribological effects of diamond nanoparticles as a lubricant mineral oil additive. A numerical code was developed that models the sliding contact observed in a standard four-ball test of sliding contact. Four-ball experimental tests were conducted both of neat mineral oil and mineral oil with the diamond nanoparticle additives, varying the trial times, temperatures, nanoparticle concentrations, and loads. The numerical results matched the experimental data remarkably by adjusting the lubricant thermal conductivity to account for the enhanced conductivity of diamond; demonstrating that thermal enhancements are the primary cause of the wear reduction properties of diamond nanoparticle additives.

description: Ratification of the 26th Amendment in 1971 was a watershed event in America's long and often tumultuous electoral reform journey. The persistently low voter turnout of newly enfranchised 18-20 year-olds since then not only is troubling from a democratic perspective but also is puzzling in light of the rapidly rising educational attainment of this age group during the same period. In this investigation, I develop an original theoretical frame by which to examine relationships between the 1972-2006 voter turnout patterns of 26th Amendment eligible voters and a large complement of educational and non-educational influences manifested during the end of high school and the years immediately following high school. Drawing upon multiple data sources, including a greatly under-utilized national survey series that is maintained under National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) auspices, I reaffirm the overall strength of educational attainment as a young adult voter turnout predictor while providing new evidence that attainment effects are attenuated by other educational and non-educational circumstances and traits. My results, which also reveal the dynamism of these influences in predicting young adult voter turnout, are suggestive of five areas in which the 26th Amendment can serve as a teachable moment to strengthen the democratic education mission through: (1) expanded post-high school enrollment opportunities; (2) energized high school citizenship training; (3) strengthened connections between the high school literacy and civics curricula; (4) improved use of technology to deliver civically relevant messages; and (5) more aggressive voter registration efforts on high school and college campuses.

description: At the end of the First World War, new states were created in the former domains of the Ottoman Empire. In the region between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, Britain and France obtained through conquest and international writ new "mandate" territories in Iraq and Syria, while in 1923 a new Turkish republic was founded on the Anatolian peninsula. During the next two decades, governments in these states planned a series of water control projects on the two rivers as part of broad economic development efforts. Many of these projects were eventually constructed after the Second World War, shaping the environment of the river basin with dams, flood control and irrigation works, and hydroelectric power stations. By comparing these states' efforts to exploit natural resources and manage the environment of the basin, this study considers the environmental function in the shift from empire to independent nation-state and in the diverse processes of modern state formation. Through water resource exploitation, Iraq, Syria and Turkey founded modern bureaucracies, centralized control over natural resources, and justified new techniques to manage populations. However, the intentions of Baghdad, Ankara and Damascus, as well as the results obtained, differed in significant ways, providing insight not only into the nature of these states, but also the political dimensions of managing a critical natural resource. This dissertation is based on analysis of archival records in Arabic, English, French and Turkish, collected from institutions in England, France, the United States, India and Turkey.

description: Abstract. Water is essential for the hotel industry, its disposition is key to ensure the viability of the tourism sector that grows disproportionately day by day plus the scarcity of water in the world, this situation forces hotels to find alternatives to meet the demand for water. One of the preferred alternatives is solar water desalination. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate through the first literature review whether solar desalination is a viable technique to meet the demand of potable water in a medium-sized hotel in a coastal area. We conducted a review of the literature published between 1987 and 2018, the subject of which is solar HDH desalination. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated and applied to determine the most relevant studies to achieve the purpose of this research. The review found that solar desalination can be feasible to apply in hotels if they have large amounts of land for installation or the demand for water is not large. However, there are more economic methods to desalinate water while at the same time producing more water with similar sizes of facilities. Such results have practical implication for the use of the systems of hotels in general.
OK Boomer: Geography, Comedy and the Emerging Political Expression of Generation Left in the UK
Creators: name: Ashby, David J.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Comedy renders certain (geo)political discourses as common sense to particular audiences and geopolitical communities. Terms such as “Generation Rent” and “Generation Left” have emerged to understand the material/political conditions that produce geopolitical communities increasingly defined along the axis of age. Merging previous theories of comedy with assemblage thinking and critical geopolitics scholarship, this thesis identifies, follows and analyses this production - answering to how broadcast and digital forms of political comedy both assemble and are assembled by generational/geopolitical communities in broader human/media assemblages.
A discourse analysis of UK broadcast political comedy shows sets up the ‘liberal’ base line against which it is argued Generation Left is increasingly independent of and actively challenging. This discourse analysis uses the traditional theories of comedy – superiority theory, incongruity theory and relief theory – as heuristic categories to isolate and analyse moments of othering, juxtaposition and tension respectively. From this, it is argued that particular space-time juxtapositions in broadcast comedy territorialise UK geopolitical communities of ‘remainer’ and ‘leaver’ as central, distinct and coterminous coalitions.
“Moments of sincerity” are offered in this thesis as a way to explore emerging political expressions in political comedy. Moments of sincerity lay claim to and position a particular (perceived) audience as “naïve”, rendering a particular discourse as common sense. These moments create and reflect a generational battle over who represents the naïve audience.
Emerging political comedy appetites are explored through the dis/connections between digital and broadcast political comedy assemblages and the role and rise of the ‘prosumer’ (producers and consumers). As active ‘prosumers’ of political comedy media, Generation Left are more independently, assertively, and creatively challenge geopolitical discourses of the status quo, creating and reflecting new political expressions adequate to the material conditions and everyday geopolitical lives of Generation Left.

description: During the last two decades, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) has been recognized as one of the fast-growing urban technology and with ICT, a drastic increase in e-commerce transactions have been observed, threatening the traditional physical retail industry, changing its current network based on distance, and restructuring the existing retail ecosystem. As vast changes due to the new technologies have been observed in China, this study chooses one of the biggest and new technology adapted cities, Shanghai, as a case study and focus on its local impact induced by e-commerce. This study, positioning in the middle of this change, is thus framed as “the two tales of a new retail ecosystem”. By analyzing brick-and-mortar (B&M) retail and e-retail, this research aims to have a holistic understanding of the new retail ecosystem in downtown Shanghai. E-commerce trends are examined through local context and relevant reports. Changes in the geographic distribution of retail stores over year are examined through spatial analysis, Kernel Density Estimation (KDE), on point of interest (POI) datasets of retail stores in Shanghai. Shopping behavior changes due to the emergence of e-commerce as an option are examined by surveys collected at two selected neighborhoods. The survey analysis also implies the potential influence of e-commerce on conventional retail landscape, and links the e-commerce trend and the change in physical retail networks. Convenience goods and comparison goods are categorized to understand the different impacts. The findings suggest that instead of a one-way effect by e-commerce on physical retail sector, a mutual relationship exists between the two, leading to a deeply integrated new retail ecosystem, as well as distinct effects on comparison and convenience retail. Being aware of this new system is essential for planners to reconsider the commercial planning for cities. This study proposes a new planning paradigm and other recommendations to address the issue.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the physical processes that cause halo assembly bias -- the dependence of halo clustering on proxies of halo formation time. We focus on the origin of assembly bias in the mass range corresponding to the hosts of typical galaxies and use halo concentration as our chief proxy of halo formation time. We also repeat our key analyses across a broad range of halo masses and for alternative formation time definitions. We show that splashback subhaloes are responsible for two thirds of the assembly bias signal, but do not account for the entire effect. After splashback subhaloes have been removed, we find that the remaining assembly bias signal is due to a relatively small fraction ($\lesssim 10\%$) of haloes in dense regions. We test a number of additional physical processes thought to contribute to assembly bias and demonstrate that the two key processes are the slowing of mass growth by large-scale tidal fields and by the high velocities of ambient matter in sheets and filaments. We also rule out several other proposed physical causes of halo assembly bias. Based on our results, we argue that there are three processes that contribute to assembly bias of low-mass halos: large-scale tidal fields, gravitational heating due to the collapse of large-scale structures, and splashback subhaloes located outside the virial radius.

description: Applied to the electroweak interactions, the theory of Lie algebra extensions suggests a mechanism by which the boson masses are generated without resource to spontaneous symmetry breaking. It starts from a gauge theory without any additional scalar field. All the couplings predicted by the Weinberg-Salam theory are present, and a few others which are nevertheless consistent within the model.

Mappings preserving locations of movable poles: a new extension of the truncation method to ordinary differential equations

description: The truncation method is a collective name for techniques that arise from truncating a Laurent series expansion (with leading term) of generic solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Despite its utility in finding Backlund transformations and other remarkable properties of integrable PDEs, it has not been generally extended to ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Here we give a new general method that provides such an extension and show how to apply it to the classical nonlinear ODEs called the Painleve equations. Our main new idea is to consider mappings that preserve the locations of a natural subset of the movable poles admitted by the equation. In this way we are able to recover all known fundamental Backlund transformations for the equations considered. We are also able to derive Backlund transformations onto other ODEs in the Painleve classification.

description: Tribe Phyllocacteae Salm-Dyck:
 — Nyffeler & Eggli (2010) stated that the monophyly of the tribe is well supported by Nyffeler (2002) and Crozier (2005). Moreover, for nomenclatural reasons, the name Phyllocacteae (incl. Echinocereeae Buxb.) must be used because it has priority over all the other relevant tribal names, i.e. Hylocereeae Buxb., Leptocereeae Buxb., Pachycereeae Buxb. and Peniocereeae Doweld. Despite of this, Hunt et al. (2013) placed the three Chilean genera (Austrocactus Britton & Rose, Eulychnia Phil., and Corryocactus Britton & Rose) within Echinocereeae Buxb., Nyffeler & Eggli (2010) proposed the following three subtribes, one of which (Subtribe Corryocactinae Buxb.) includes the three Chilean genera. The relationships between Austrocactus, Eulychnia, and Corryocactus was corroborated by various molecular-based studies (e.g. Nyffeler 2002, Hernández-Hernández et al. 2011, Bárcenas et al. 2011).

description: Abstract. Water is essential for the hotel industry, its disposition is key to ensure the viability of the tourism sector that grows disproportionately day by day plus the scarcity of water in the world, this situation forces hotels to find alternatives to meet the demand for water. One of the preferred alternatives is solar water desalination. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate through the first literature review whether solar desalination is a viable technique to meet the demand of potable water in a medium-sized hotel in a coastal area. We conducted a review of the literature published between 1987 and 2018, the subject of which is solar HDH desalination. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were formulated and applied to determine the most relevant studies to achieve the purpose of this research. The review found that solar desalination can be feasible to apply in hotels if they have large amounts of land for installation or the demand for water is not large. However, there are more economic methods to desalinate water while at the same time producing more water with similar sizes of facilities. Such results have practical implication for the use of the systems of hotels in general.
Optimal gauge for the multimode Rabi model in circuit QED

description: In circuit QED, a Rabi model can be derived by truncating the Hilbert space of the anharmonic qubit coupled to a linear, reactive environment. This truncation breaks the gauge invariance present in the full Hamiltonian. We analyze the determination of an optimal gauge such that the differences between the truncated and the full Hamiltonian are minimized. Here, we derive a simple criterion for the optimal gauge. We find that it is determined by the ratio of the anharmonicity of the qubit to an averaged environmental frequency. We demonstrate that the usual choices of flux and charge gauge are not necessarily the preferred options in the case of multiple resonator modes.

description: Austrocactus:
 —The Austrocactus species from around the town of Chile Chico was shown to be A. coxii (K.Schum.) Backeb. (see Walter 2019) and not A. patagonicus Hosseus according to Rodríguez et al. (2018) and Hunt et al. (2013, 2016). A. coxii can easily be distinguished from A. patagonicus (= A. bertinii Britton & Rose) by large multi-headed cushions (vs. simple, rarely few-headed in A. patagonicus), branches 10–15 cm long (vs. 50–60 cm) and 5 cm thick (vs. to 15 cm), all spines straight (vs. hooked), centrals 2.0– 2.5 cm (vs. 2–4 cm), flowers yellow to orange (vs. pinkish to white).

description: Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the consequences of a spacetime $(M,g_{μν})$ or an initial data set $(Σ, h_{ij}, K_{ij})$ admitting a suitably defined convex function. We show how the existence of a convex function on a spacetime places restrictions on the properties of the spacetime geometry.

Bridging the Semantic Gap with SQL Query Logs in Natural Language Interfaces to Databases

description: A critical challenge in constructing a natural language interface to database (NLIDB) is bridging the semantic gap between a natural language query (NLQ) and the underlying data. Two specific ways this challenge exhibits itself is through keyword mapping and join path inference. Keyword mapping is the task of mapping individual keywords in the original NLQ to database elements (such as relations, attributes or values). It is challenging due to the ambiguity in mapping the user's mental model and diction to the schema definition and contents of the underlying database. Join path inference is the process of selecting the relations and join conditions in the FROM clause of the final SQL query, and is difficult because NLIDB users lack the knowledge of the database schema or SQL and therefore cannot explicitly specify the intermediate tables and joins needed to construct a final SQL query. In this paper, we propose leveraging information from the SQL query log of a database to enhance the performance of existing NLIDBs with respect to these challenges. We present a system Templar that can be used to augment existing NLIDBs. Our extensive experimental evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of our approach, leading up to 138% improvement in top-1 accuracy in existing NLIDBs by leveraging SQL query log information.
