FIELD

This application relates generally to natural language processing. More specifically, in some aspects, this application relates to using a trained machine learning model to convert natural language input into an application programming interface call.

BACKGROUND

The rapidly increasing ubiquity of computing puts a great demand on the next-generation human-machine interface. Natural language interface is widely believed to be a promising direction. Users want to control a wide variety of devices, programs, applications and so forth using natural language phrasing, whether spoken, typed, or input in other ways.

It is within this context that the present embodiments arise.
