Just watched their video... I can't believe I have never heard of these guys before!

Looks like they're translating natural-language into some sort of query language. Are there any well-known methods for doing this kind of thing?

When I first heard of statmuse I had your same question, best I could come up with is "Constructing an Interactive Natural Language Interface for Relational Databases"[1]. If anyone knows more about this I'd be curious to hear about it.

Edit:

Since this got brought up again I've been searching around a little more and found c-phrase, which looks similar.
