INTENT-BASED NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING SYSTEM

Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, from a device, a natural-language (NL) request. The method further includes selecting, using the NL request, an intent from a set of intents, wherein the intent is associated with a pre-defined intent template, the pre-defined intent template including a set of property fields that are associated with one or more portions of the NL request. The method also includes determining, based on the NL request, a set of property field values for the set of property fields. The method further includes generating a query to be executed on a field-searchable data source, wherein the query is based on one or more property field values included in the set of property field values. The method also includes receiving, in response to the query, a result that includes a set of event field values. In addition, the method includes causing the device to display at least a portion of the result.
