Representing and Querying Line Graphs in Natural Language: The iGraph System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Numerical information is often presented in graphs. However, this medium is problematic for certain audiences such as inexperienced graph readers, people with visual impairments and users of mobile technologies featuring small screens. We have developed a system called iGraph which provides short verbal descriptions with the information depicted in graphs and a way of interacting with it by means of dialogue in natural language. In this paper, we present the general architecture of the system and its representational and querying mechanisms, together with a glimpse of the natural language interface.

Much numerical information is visualized in graphs. However, this is a medium that is problematic for people with visual impairments. We have developed a system called iGraph which provides short verbal descriptions of the information usually depicted in graphs. This system was used as a preliminary solution that was validated through a process of User Needs Analysis (UNA). This process provide...
متن کاملUsing Language as an Accessibility Tool: A System for Natural Language Interaction with Graphs over the Web
Graphical information (such as line graphs, bar charts, etc.) are not readily available for people using mobile devices and for people who are blind or have some other visual impairments. In this paper, we report on both a general-purpose architecture to implement Natural Language Interfaces (NLIs) and an implementation of that architecture, the iGraph system, which allows for description and e...
متن کاملQuerying on a Persistent Graph Logic Programming Language
A problem with current database technology is its inability to represent complex relationships in a declarative form. Data models which can naturally represent complex structure must be able to describe a domain in a exible and accurate manner. The relational data model has in exible requirements for join tables and object-oriented databases emphasize behavior over representing structural infor...
متن کاملTemporal Provenance Model (TPM): Model and Query Language
Provenance refers to the documentation of an object’s lifecycle. This documentation (often represented as a graph) should include all the information necessary to reproduce a certain piece of data or the process that led to it. In a dynamic world, as data changes, it is important to be able to get a piece of data as it was, and its provenance graph, at a certain point in time. Supporting time-a...
