Text-to-diagram Conversion: a Method for Formal Representation of Natural Language Geometry Problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural language geometry problems are translated into formal representation. This is done as an essential step involved in text to diagram conversion. A parser is designed that analyzes a problem statement in order to describe it as a language independent, unambiguous formal representation. Natural language processing tools and a lexical knowledge base are used to assist the parser that finally generates a graph as the parsing output. The parse graph is the formal representation of the input natural language problem. This graph is later translated into another intermediate representation consisting of a set of graphics-friendly statements. High school level geometry problems are used to develop and test the proposed methods. Experimental results show high accuracy of the approach in translating a natural language problem into a formal description.

متن کاملA New Document Embedding Method for News Classification
Abstract- Text classification is one of the main tasks of natural language processing (NLP). In this task, documents are classified into pre-defined categories. There is lots of news spreading on the web. A text classifier can categorize news automatically and this facilitates and accelerates access to the news. The first step in text classification is to represent documents in a suitable way t...
متن کاملLojban as a Machine Translation Interlanguage in the Pacific
1. Introduction The dominant strategy currently employed in machine translation (MT) is transfer: 1 Under this strategy, the MT system derives an abstract representation of the source language text; this representation is then transferred into a corresponding abstract representation formed in terms of the target language, which is subsequently realised in the target language proper. At each sta...
