Xi Lin, Chenglong Wang, Luke Zettlemoyer, Michael D. Ernst · 2018
We present new data and semantic parsing methods for the problem of mapping English sentences to Bash commands (NL2Bash).Our long-term goal is to enable any user to perform operations such as file manipulation, search, and application-specific scripting by simply stating their goals in English.We take a first step in this domain, by providing a new dataset of challenging but commonly used Bash commands and expert-written English descriptions, along with baseline methods to establish performance levels on this task.
