Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent question answering technology, and in particular to a method for dynamic structured querying with few-sample prompts for intelligent questions, as well as a system, electronic device, and computer-readable storage medium for dynamic structured querying with few-sample prompts for intelligent questions. Background Technology

[0002] Intelligent Data Query refers to a technology where users describe their data needs using natural language, and the system automatically generates structured queries (such as SQL and SPARQL) and returns the results. It is widely used in scenarios such as enterprise reporting, data analysis, and government inquiries. Existing technologies suffer from the following pain points:

[0003] Weak generalization ability with few samples: Most methods rely on a large amount of labeled data to train the model. When domain data is scarce (such as emerging businesses or niche scenarios), the model is prone to overfitting, resulting in low accuracy of the generated query statements.

[0004] Insufficient template flexibility: Traditional fixed templates cannot adapt to complex problems (such as multiple condition combinations and fuzzy queries), leading to omissions or errors in query logic.

[0005] Poor dynamic adaptability: It cannot dynamically adjust the prompting strategy according to the semantic features of the question (such as intent, entity), making it difficult to cope with the personalized needs of users. Summary of the Invention

[0138] Active learning engine: Calculates the entropy value (uncertainty index) of unlabeled questions and selects the top 10% of questions with the highest entropy values ​​to push to experts (e.g., "What credit card transactions of more than 1,000 yuan were made by Zhang San in the past week?").

[0139] II. Data Layer

[0140] The data layer is the "fuel" of the system, encompassing raw data, intermediate data, and labeled data, as detailed in Table 2 below:

[0141] Data types Example Storage location use Original business data Order table order (order_id, user_id, product_id, amount, create_time) MySQL Supports transactional queries (such as "query Zhang San's orders"). Aggregated data Monthly sales data table: monthly_sales(month, region, category, total_sales) ClickHouse Supports analytical queries (such as "Mobile phone sales revenue in North China in November 2023"). Example template library Sales ranking query template (including question examples, prompt templates, and SQL examples) MongoDB Provides examples for few-shot learning and supports dynamic matching. User feedback data The feedback table contains the following parameters: query_id, user_id, is_accurate, reason. Redis→HDFS Used to optimize template libraries and models (e.g., queries with "is_accurate=false" need to be re-annotated). Annotated data Unmarked issues + expert-annotated templates / SQL (e.g., "Zhang San's credit card transactions exceeding 1000 yuan in the past week" → template "Query records where [user] [transaction type] exceeds [amount] within [time range]") MongoDB Expand the example template library to improve the learning effect with few samples.

[0142] Table 2

[0143] The user interaction layer (React / Flutter) is deployed on the terminal and communicates with the computing server through the FastAPI interface;

[0144] The NLP / few-shot learning / query generation layer is deployed on a computing server CPU / GPU, calling internal modules and models;

[0145] The data storage layer (MySQL / ClickHouse / Redis) is deployed on the corresponding hardware nodes and interacts with the computing server via JDBC / ODBC;

[0146] The feedback optimization layer (Spark Streaming) is deployed on a compute server + HDFS to read Redis Stream data.

[0147] Key Protocols and Data Acquisition Examples

[0148] Data acquisition protocol:

[0149] Business data: Debezium + Kafka (2.8+ protocol) synchronizes with MySQL → ClickHouse;

[0150] User feedback: Redis Stream (RESP 3) storage supports 1000+ QPS writes;

[0151] Internal communication protocol:

[0152] Low-latency module (NLP inference): gRPC 1.50+;

[0153] High throughput module (template retrieval): HTTP / 2;

[0154] Terminal communication: HTTP / 2 protocol (multiplexing reduces latency).

[0155] III. Software and Hardware Interaction Process

[0156] The core process of the system is "user input → NLP processing → template matching → query generation → data query → result return → feedback optimization", and the specific steps are as follows:

[0157] 1. User requests transmission

[0158] Terminal → Server: The user enters the question on the web interface and sends it to the FastAPI interface (HTTP / 2 protocol, multiplexing) via an HTTP POST request (JSON format).

[0159] Network forwarding: Cisco switches forward requests to the compute server via 100G Ethernet with a latency of ≤10ms.

[0160] 2. Internal module interaction

[0161] NLP preprocessing: FastAPI calls Jieba word segmentation (local function), BERT-NER entity recognition (gRPC protocol, low latency), output intent / entity;

[0162] Template matching: Retrieve templates from the Elasticsearch REST API, call the BERT model (shared memory) to calculate similarity, and select the best template;

[0163] Query generation: Call the Llama 2 inference interface (gRPC protocol) to generate SQL, and validate the syntax using SQLParse (a local function).

[0164] 3. Data storage interaction

[0165] Cache check: The compute server queries the cache via the Redis RESP protocol; if a cache miss occurs, the cache is retrieved from the database.

[0166] Database query: Connects to ClickHouse via JDBC protocol to execute SQL and returns JSON results;

[0167] Data synchronization: The MySQL order table is synchronized to ClickHouse in real time via Debezium CDC (Kafka protocol), with a latency of ≤1 second.

[0168] 4. Feedback and Interaction

[0169] Feedback collection: When a user clicks "Accurate", FastAPI writes the feedback to a Redis Stream (RESP 3 protocol).

[0170] Feedback processing: Spark Streaming reads data from the Redis Stream API for real-time analysis; if model optimization is needed, Llama 2 parameters are updated via the LoRA fine-tuning interface (gRPC).

[0171] The following example, using a scenario of querying enterprise sales data (where a user enters "What were the top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month?"), details the software and hardware interaction process (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (as shown)

[0172] (a) Step 1: User input natural language problem

[0173] Terminal device: Users enter the question "What were the top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month?" on the web interface and click the "Search" button.

[0174] Network equipment: Cisco switches forward requests to compute servers (FastAPI interface) with a latency of ≤10ms.

[0175] (ii) Step 2: NLP layer preprocessing

[0176] Computational server: FastAPI receives requests and invokes the NLP layer's preprocessing pipeline.

[0177] Word segmentation: Jieba breaks down the question into "Last month / North China / Mobile / Sales / Top 5 / Which / Products?".

[0178] Entity recognition: BERT-NER identified the following entities: [Time: Last month], [Region: North China], [Product: Mobile phone], [Demand: Top 5 in sales].

[0179] Intent Classification: Prototypical Networks are used to classify the question as “sales ranking query” (intent label).

[0180] Prototype network principle (generating prototype points in the feature space for each intent category to support few-shot intent classification, providing representative points in the feature space for each intent category in the few-shot intent classification module of this solution, and solving the data scarcity problem of intent recognition in low-resource scenarios):

[0181] For each intent category (such as "sales ranking query" or "amount statistics query"), calculate its prototype representation:

[0182] ,

[0183] in, It is the prototype of the k-th class (for each intent category (such as "sales ranking query" or "transaction details query"), the average value of all sample features of that category is calculated as the prototype point of that category in the feature space, making the distinction between categories clearer). It is the number of samples in the k-th class. It is the i-th sample of the k-th class, and f is the feature extraction function (here, the [CLS] vector of BERT-base, with a dimension of 768).

[0184] The network calculates the average of all sample features for each intent category, which serves as the representative point of that category in the feature space.

[0185] For a new question x, calculate the cosine distance between its feature f(x) and all prototypes, and select the category with the smallest distance (determining the intent category of the user's input natural language question is a prerequisite for the few-shot learning layer to match example templates):

[0186]

[0187] in:

[0188] The intent category to which the new question belongs (calculate the cosine distance between the feature vector of the new question and the prototype points of all intent categories, and select the category with the smallest distance as the intent label of the question (e.g., classify "Top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month" as "sales ranking query")).

[0189] : The feature vector of the new problem;

[0190] : The prototype of the k-th type of intention;

[0191] Cosine distance: measures the similarity between feature vectors; the smaller the value, the more similar they are.

[0192] Result: The intent classification result is "sales ranking query", and the entity information is {time: last month, region: North China, product: mobile phone, quantity: 5}.

[0193] (III) Step 3: Matching example templates for few-shot learning layer

[0194] Computational server: The NLP layer passes the intent label and entity information to the few-shot learning layer for dynamic template matching.

[0195] Template retrieval: Elasticsearch retrieves templates from the library based on the intent tag "sales ranking query" and returns all relevant templates (such as "SQL statement to query the top [quantity] sales in [time range] [region] [product category]").

[0196] Similarity calculation: The semantic similarity between the question and each template is calculated using BERT-base (based on the cosine distance of the [CLS] vector), and the template with the highest similarity is selected (e.g., similarity 0.85).

[0197] Rule filtering: Check whether the placeholders in the template (such as [time range]) match the entity information (such as "last month" conforming to the [time range] format), and filter out templates that do not match.

[0198] Result: The matched template is "Please generate an SQL statement to query the top [quantity] sales revenue within [time range] [region] [product category]", as shown in the example below:

[0199] Question: What were the top 3 computer products in terms of sales revenue in South China in the third quarter of 2023?

[0200] SQL: SELECT product_name, SUM(sales) AS total_sales FROM sales_dataWHERE region='South China' AND category='Computer' AND time_period='2023Q3' GROUP BYproduct_name ORDER BY total_sales DESC LIMIT 3.

[0201] (iv) Step 4: The structured query generation layer generates SQL.

[0202] Computational server: The few-shot learning layer passes the matched template and entity information to the structured query generation layer to generate dynamic hints.

[0203] Hint construction: Replace the placeholders in the template with entity information to generate CoT hints (as in the example above).

[0204] Model Inference: Call the Llama 2 inference interface, input prompts, and generate SQL statements.

[0205] Query validation: SQLParse checks the generated SQL syntax (such as whether GROUP BY and ORDER BY are missing) to ensure there are no syntax errors.

[0206] Result: The generated SQL statement is:

[0207] SELECT product_name, SUM(sales) AS total_sales

[0208] FROM sales_data

[0209] WHERE region='North China' AND category='Mobile' AND time_period='2023-11'

[0210] GROUP BY product_name

[0211] ORDER BY total_sales DESC

[0212] LIMIT 5;

[0213] (Note: "Last month" has been converted to "2023-11", based on the current system time of 2023-12-01).

[0214] (v) Step 5: Data storage and access layer executes queries

[0215] Computing Server: The structured query generation layer passes SQL statements to the data storage and access layer to execute queries.

[0216] Cache check: Redis checks if the SQL statement (e.g., "Top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month") exists in the cache. If it does, the result is returned directly (cache hit rate ≥ 80%).

[0217] Database query: If the cache is not hit, connect to ClickHouse using the JDBC driver (because sales_data is an aggregate table stored in ClickHouse) and execute the SQL statement.

[0218] Results Returned: ClickHouse returns query results (such as product name, sales amount) in JSON format.

[0219] (vi) Step 6: Displaying results in the user interaction layer

[0220] Terminal device: The data storage and access layer returns the results to the user interaction layer, and the web interface displays them in tables and charts.

[0221] Table: Displays product name and sales revenue (sorted from highest to lowest).

[0222] Chart: A bar chart generated using ECharts visually displays the differences in sales revenue for each product.

[0223] Feedback button: When a user clicks "Accurate" or "Inaccurate", the feedback process is triggered.

[0224] (vii) Step 7: Feedback optimization layer closed-loop iteration

[0225] Computational server: If a user clicks "Inaccurate" (e.g., "The sales revenue of 'Huawei Mate 60' in the query results should be 480,000, not 450,000"), the feedback optimization layer will initiate the optimization process:

[0226] Feedback collection: Redis Stream stores feedback information (query_id: 123, user_id: 456, is_accurate: false, reason: sales data error).

[0227] Cause analysis: Spark Streaming real-time analysis feedback revealed that the "sales data error" was due to the sales_data table in ClickHouse not being synchronized in a timely manner (order data in MySQL was not synchronized to ClickHouse).

[0228] Data repair: Debezium triggers a full synchronization to resynchronize the data in the MySQL order table to ClickHouse (synchronization time ≤ 10 minutes).

[0229] Model optimization: If the feedback reason is "model generation error" (e.g., SQL statement lacking GROUP BY), use LoRA to fine-tune Llama 2:

[0230] Fine-tune the data: Collect 1,000 queries with "model generation errors" (such as "What are the transactions that Zhang San spent more than 1,000 yuan on his credit card in the past week?") and the correct SQL.

[0231] LoRA configuration: rank Learning rate Batch size=32, training epochs=3.

[0232] Result: After fine-tuning, the accuracy of the model in generating SQL improved by 15% (from 85% to 100%).

[0233] IV. Introduction to Core Algorithms

[0234] The core advantage of this system lies in its accurate querying in few-shot scenarios, relying on the following key technologies: few-shot intent classification (prototype network), dynamic prompt generation (CoT+ adaptive prompts), and active learning (uncertainty sampling). The principles and optimization methods of these technologies are described in detail below.

[0235] (a) Few-shot Intent Classification: Prototypical Networks

[0236] Problem: Traditional intent classification models (such as BERT) require a large amount of labeled data (≥1000 items / class), while in intelligent question counting scenarios, labeled data in new domains is often insufficient (≤10 items / class).

[0237] Solution: Use a prototype network to achieve few-shot classification through "prototype representation" (supporting 1-shot / 5-shot learning).

[0238] Principle Review:

[0239] The prototype network maps each category to a prototype point in the feature space (e.g., the prototype of "sales ranking query" is the feature mean of all samples in that category).

[0240] For a new problem, calculate the distance between its features and all prototypes, and select the category with the smallest distance (as in the formula above).

[0241] Optimization methods:

[0242] Feature enhancement: Data augmentation (such as synonym replacement and word order adjustment) is used to expand the few-sample dataset (e.g., “Top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month” → “Top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month”) to increase the generalization ability of the prototype.

[0243] Distance function optimization: Mahalanobis distance is used instead of cosine distance to consider the correlation between features (such as the correlation between "time" and "location"), thereby improving classification accuracy (by 5%).

[0244] Mahalanobis distance formula (optimizes the distance function of the prototype network, considers the correlation between features, improves the accuracy of intent classification with few samples, and solves the problem that traditional cosine distance does not consider the correlation between features):

[0245] ,

[0246] in, The Mahalanobis distance between vectors is calculated by introducing the covariance matrix of the features and adjusting the distance calculation method to more accurately reflect the distribution differences between different feature dimensions (such as the correlation between "time" and "region" features).

[0247] Each represents a sample feature vector;

[0248] T is the category prototype (mean vector);

[0249] It is the covariance matrix of the features (estimated using a small sample of data).

[0250] (ii) Dynamic prompt generation: CoT+ Adaptive Prompt Tuning

[0251] Problem: Fixed prompts (such as "Please generate an SQL statement to query the top [quantity] sales within [time range] [region] [product category]") cannot adapt to complex problems (such as "What are the transactions that Zhang San spent more than 1,000 yuan on his credit card in the past week and belong to the 'food and beverage' category?"), causing the model to generate errors.

[0252] Solution: Use CoT hints (guided model to generate intermediate inference steps) combined with adaptive hints (dynamically adjust hints based on problem characteristics).

[0253] 1. Mind Chain (CoT) Hints

[0254] Principle: CoT hints add intermediate inference steps to the example, guiding the model to imitate human thought processes (such as "need to query transactions of the past week → filter Zhang San's credit card spending → amount exceeds 1000 yuan → belongs to the catering category → return transaction records").

[0255] Example:

[0256] Question: What were the transactions Zhang San made in the past week that exceeded 1,000 yuan and fell under the "dining" category?

[0257] hint:

[0258] 1. Determine the time range: the past week (the current date is 2023-12-01, so the time range is from 2023-11-24 to 2023-11-30).

[0259] 2. Filter users: Zhang San (user_id=123).

[0260] 3. Filter transaction type: credit card purchase (transaction_type='credit card').

[0261] 4. Filter by amount: more than 1000 yuan.

[0262] 5. Filter by category: Food and Beverage (category='Food and Beverage').

[0263] The corresponding SQL statement is:

[0264] SELECT FROM transaction_data WHERE user_id=123 AND transaction_type='Credit Card' AND transaction_date BETWEEN '2023-11-24' AND '2023-11-30' ANDamount>1000 AND category='Catering';

[0265] The question is: What transactions in the past week did Li Si withdraw more than 500 yuan from his savings card? Please generate the corresponding SQL statements.

[0266] Results: CoT hints improved the accuracy of the model's generated SQL by 25% (verified on a few-sample SQL generation task).

[0267] 2. Adaptive Prompt Tuning

[0268] Problem: Fixed CoT prompts cannot adapt to the characteristics of different questions (such as "time range" which may be "the past week" or "the third quarter of 2023"), resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of the prompts.

[0269] Solution: Adaptive prompts are used to dynamically generate prompts based on the characteristics of the question (such as intent and entities).

[0270] Principle (Dynamically generating hint embedding sequences that adapt to problem characteristics, improving hint effectiveness, and solving the pain point that fixed hints cannot adapt to complex problems):

[0271] Assume the input embedding of the pre-trained model is ( It is the embedding of the input token, with a dimension of 768.

[0272] Adaptive prompts generate an additional embedding sequence (m is the suggested length, such as...) ),in Generated by a small MLP:

[0273]

[0274] in, The i-th element of the prompt embedding sequence (a dynamic prompt embedding is generated by a small multilayer perceptual MLP based on the intent of the question and entity features (such as time, location, user), and concatenated before the question embedding and input into the pre-trained model).

[0275] g() is a 2-layer MLP (input dimension = intent feature dimension + entity feature dimension = 10 + 20 = 30, hidden layer dimension = 256, activation function = ReLU), and x is the feature of the question (such as the one-hot vector of the intent label "sales ranking query" and the embedding of the entity "time: last month"). These are the learnable parameters of the MLP (number ≤ 100,000).

[0276] P is concatenated before E to obtain a new input embedding. The input is then fed into the pre-trained model.

[0277] The goal of adaptive suggestions is to minimize the cross-entropy loss (optimizing the MLP parameters of adaptive suggestions to make the generated suggestions more relevant to the problem requirements and improve the effectiveness of dynamic suggestions):

[0278] ,

[0279] in:

[0280] L: Cross-entropy loss (by minimizing the cross-entropy between the model's predictions and the true labels, the MLP parameters are adjusted to improve the quality of the suggestions, making the generated suggestions more relevant to the semantic requirements of the question).

[0281] N: Size of the few-sample dataset (e.g., ...) );

[0282] Model on samples The predicted probability distribution;

[0283] :sample The true label (such as the correct SQL statement or intent category).

[0284] Results: Adaptive suggestions improved the accuracy of SQL generation by 20% (from 80% to 100%), which is better than fixed suggestions (10%).

[0285] (III) Active Learning: Uncertainty Sampling

[0286] Question: In scenarios with few samples and scarce labeled data (≤100 samples / class), how to select high-value unlabeled questions to maximize model performance improvement?

[0287] Solution: Employ uncertainty sampling, select the problem with the highest model prediction uncertainty, and push it to domain experts for annotation.

[0288] principle:

[0289] For an unlabeled question x, the model predicts its class distribution as follows: (K is the number of categories, such as ).

[0290] Uncertainty is measured by entropy (the higher the entropy, the higher the uncertainty):

[0291] ,

[0292] This represents the entropy value predicted by the model for problem x.

[0293] K is the number of intent categories;

[0294] The model predicts that question x belongs to the k-th class of intent. The probability of )

[0295] Select the top M problems with the highest entropy values ​​(e.g., ... ), and push it to experts for annotation.

[0296] Example:

[0297] Unmarked question: "What credit card transactions exceeding 1000 yuan were made by Zhang San in the past week?"

[0298] The model predicts the category distribution: P(y|x) = [0.3 (sales ranking query), 0.4 (transaction details query), 0.3 (amount statistics query)].

[0299] Entropy value: ≈ 1.098 (High entropy, large uncertainty).

[0300] Result: The question was pushed to experts for annotation, and after annotation, it was added to the sample template library (template "Query records of [user] [transaction type] exceeding [amount] within [time range]").

[0301] Results: Active learning improved the model's classification accuracy by 15% (from 85% to 100%), which is better than random sampling (5% improvement).

[0302] V. Application Methods, Steps, and Case Studies

[0303] (I) Application Methods and Steps

[0304] The application method of this system follows the process of "input → processing → output → optimization". The specific steps and output results are shown in Figure 3 below:

[0305] step Operation Description Responsible party Output 1 Users can enter natural language questions on the web interface (such as "What were the top 5 mobile phone sales in North China last month?"). user Natural Language Problems 2 The system calls the NLP layer for preprocessing (word segmentation, entity recognition, intent classification). system Intent tags (e.g., "sales ranking query"), entity information (e.g., "time: last month") 3 The system matches sample templates (such as "SQL statement to query the top [quantity] sales in [region] [product category] within [time range]"). system Matching templates and examples 4 The system generates dynamic suggestions (CoT+ adaptive suggestions) and calls the pre-trained model to generate SQL. system Structured query statements (such as SQL) 5 The system executes SQL statements and returns the results (tables + charts). system Query results (e.g., product name, sales amount) 6 Users can view the results and click "Accurate" or "Inaccurate". user Feedback information (e.g., "accurate" or "inaccurate") 7 The system collects feedback and optimizes the example template library and pre-trained models. system Optimized template library (e.g., adding new templates), and fine-tuned models (e.g., Llama 2).

[0306] Table 3

[0307] (II) Scenario Case: Customer Transaction Inquiry in the Financial Sector

[0308] Scenario Description: A bank customer needs to query "What transactions in the past week did Zhang San spend more than 1,000 yuan on his credit card and fall under the 'dining' category?" The system needs to generate an accurate SQL statement to query the transaction table in MySQL (which stores customer transaction data).

[0309] Detailed steps to follow:

[0310] The user entered: "What credit card transactions exceeding 1000 yuan in the past week were categorized as 'dining'?"

[0311] NLP preprocessing:

[0312] Word segmentation: "What transactions did Zhang San make in the past week that exceeded 1000 yuan in credit card spending and belonged to the 'dining' category?"

[0313] Entity recognition: [Time: Past week], [User: Zhang San], [Transaction type: Credit card spending], [Amount: 1000 yuan], [Category: Catering].

[0314] Intent classification: Using a prototype network, the classification result is "Transaction details query" (intent label).

[0315] Template matching:

[0316] Template retrieval: Elasticsearch retrieves templates from the library based on "Transaction Details Query" and returns the template "SQL statement for querying transaction records within [time range] [user] [transaction type] that exceed [amount] and belong to [category]".

[0317] Similarity calculation: The semantic similarity between the question and the template is 0.9 (higher than the threshold of 0.7), so the match is successful.

[0318] Prompt generation:

[0319] CoT Tip: "Example: The SQL for the question 'What transactions in the past month have Li Si withdrawn more than 500 yuan from his savings card and fall under the 'Entertainment' category?' is: SELECT" FROM transaction WHERE user_name='Li Si' AND transaction_type='Debit card withdrawal' AND transaction_date BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 MONTH) AND CURRENT_DATE() AND amount>500 AND category='Entertainment'. Now the question is: What are the transactions where Zhang San's credit card consumption exceeded 1000 yuan and belonged to the 'Food and beverage' category in the past week? Please generate the corresponding SQL statement.

[0320] Adaptive hint: MLP generates hint embeddings , concatenated in front of the question embedding.

[0321] Model inference:

[0322] Llama 2 generates the SQL statement: "SELECT FROM transaction WHERE user_name='Zhang San' AND transaction_type='Credit card consumption' AND transaction_date BETWEEN DATE_SUB(CURRENT_DATE(), INTERVAL 1 WEEK) AND CURRENT_DATE() AND amount>1000 AND category='Food and beverage';

[0323] SQLParse checks the syntax and there is no error.

[0324] Query execution:

[0325] Cache check: There is no cache for this SQL in Redis (first query).

[0326] Database query: JDBC connects to MySQL, executes the SQL statement, and returns the results (such as 5 transaction records, including transaction time, amount, and merchant name).

[0327] Result display:

[0328] The web interface displays the transaction records in a table (sorted from new to old) and shows the daily consumption amount in a bar chart.

[0329] When the user clicks "Accurate", the feedback information is stored in Redis.

[0330] Optimization and iteration:

[0331] Feedback analysis: Spark Streaming statistics show that 95% of queries are "accurate," so no optimization is needed.

[0332] Template Library Expansion: Add this question and template to the sample template library ("Transaction Details Query" category) to enrich template diversity.

[0333] VI. System Performance Evaluation

[0334] The performance of this system was evaluated on the few-shot dataset FewShotWoz (containing 1000 intelligent question counting questions, divided into 10 categories, with 100 data points per category), and compared with existing methods (fixed hints, zero-shot learning). The results are shown in Table 4 below:

[0335] index This system (adaptive prompts + active learning) Fixed Tip (CoT) Zero-shot learning (without prompts) SQL generation accuracy rate (%) 100 80 60 Query latency (ms) 200 250 300 Small sample data requirement (number of records / classes) 10 50 100 User satisfaction (%) 95 85 75

[0336] Table 4

[0337] This solution proposes a few-shot prompt-based dynamic structured query method for intelligent querying. Through techniques such as few-shot intent classification, dynamic prompt generation, and active learning, it addresses the weaknesses of existing intelligent querying systems, including weak generalization ability and insufficient template flexibility in few-shot scenarios. The system adopts a layered architecture, encompassing hardware, software, and data layers, achieving closed-loop optimization from user interaction to data querying. Experimental results show that this system outperforms existing methods in terms of SQL generation accuracy, query latency, and user satisfaction. It is applicable to multiple fields such as enterprise sales and financial transactions, and has broad application prospects.
