Abstract
A computer-implemented method includes receiving, from a natural language interface system, a natural language task specification, and converting the natural language task specification into a domain independent data flow graph. The data flow graph includes substeps. The method further includes: presenting the data flow graph via the natural language interface system as a natural language program; interactively refining the natural language program; and correspondingly modifying the data flow graph. The computer-implemented method further includes, for each substep: selecting one or more candidate APIs from an API library, based on the substep; interactively narrowing the one or more candidate APIs to at least one selected API; implementing the substep by specifying one or more calls to the at least one selected API to yield a substep implementation; and appending the substep implementation to a result program. A corresponding computer program product and computer system are also disclosed.
