title = "Onebox: Free-Text Interfaces as an Alternative to Complex Web Forms",
abstract = "This paper investigates the problem of translating free-text queries into key-value pairs as an alternative means for searching `behind' web forms. We introduce a novel specication language for specifying free-text interfaces, and report the results of a user study where we evaluated our prototype in a travel planner scenario. Our results show that users prefer this free-text interface over the original web form and that they are about 9% faster on average at completing their search tasks.",
