Abstract: For various applications (for example, a Virtual Assistant), mechanisms that are capable of collecting user queries and generating responses are being used. While such systems handle structured queries well, they struggle to or fail to interpret an unstructured Natural Language (NL) query. The disclosure herein generally relates to data processing, and, more particularly, to a method and a system for generating responses to unstructured Natural Language (NL) queries. The system collects at least one NL query as input at a time, and generates a sketch, where the sketch is a structured representation of the unstructured NL query. Further by processing the sketch, the system generates one or more database queries. The one or more database queries are then used to search in one or more associated databases and to retrieve matching results, which are then used to generate response to the at least one NL query.
