In a computer system, systems and methods for automatically answering natural language questions using deep semantics are provided. Methods include receiving a natural language question, mapping it into one or more deductive database queries that captures one or more intents behind the question, computing one or more result sets of the question using one or more deductive database queries and a deductive database and providing one or more result sets. Systems include natural language question compilers and deductive databases. The natural language question compiler is configured to receive a natural language question and map it into one or more deductive database queries that capture one or more intents behind the question. The deductive database is configured to receive the mapped one or more deductive database queries, compute one or more result sets of the question using the one or more deductive database queries, and provide one or more result sets.
