A system and method for query selection are provided. The method may include acquiring a natural language sentence, pre-processing to obtain a standard node sequence, constructing a node tree based on the relationship between an index node and other nodes, generating a data query command based on the node tree, querying data using the data query command, and filtering the results. The standard node sequence may include at least an index node and a condition node. The node tree may be used to characterize the index-condition combination. The system may include an acquisition unit, a pre-processing unit, a node tree construction unit, a translation unit, and a querying and filtering unit.
