Abstract

The natural language query becomes an extension of the existing World Wide Web. Also searching the web become so difficult due to the huge increase of the unstructured data, and this leads to the increase of knowledge needed to be captured/answered from the available data. Furthermore, many proposed systems had been introduced to get relevant and accurate answers to the given natural language queries. In this paper a new proposed model will be introduced, which includes ontology, and applied NLP algorithms that are capable to generate query graphs and enhancing the conversion of paragraphs into triples form. The answers are based on large paragraphs and any types of complex questions. Moreover, we used Stanford CoreNLP for converting sentences into the form of triples. The used dataset is Stanford SQuAD dataset. The output results show relevant data with an accuracy of 82.27%.
