Intent-based natural language processing system

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media including instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• identifying an intent template associated with a natural-language (NL) request, wherein the intent template includes a set of property fields that are associated with one or more portions of the NL request;
• determining, based on the NL request, a set of property field values for the set of property fields;
• 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;
• receiving, in response to the query, a result that includes a set of event field values;
• and
• causing at least a portion of the result to be displayed on a device, wherein the portion of the result includes one or more of the set of event field values.

A computing device, comprising:

• a memory that includes an intent management application;
• and
• a processor that is coupled to the memory and, when executing the intent management application, performs the steps of:
• identifying an intent template associated with a natural-language (NL) request, wherein the intent template includes a set of property fields that are associated with one or more portions of the NL request;
• determining, based on the NL request, a set of property field values for the set of property fields;
• 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;
• receiving, in response to the query, a result that includes a set of event field values;
• and
• causing at least a portion of the result to be displayed on a device, wherein the portion of the result includes one or more of the set of event field values.
