Natural Language Interface Framework for Spatial Object Composition Systems

Spatial Object Composition (SOC) systems involve tasks of virtual combination of physical objects (such as furniture parts) with the purpose of creating new, complex objects or arranging the objects in space. In this paper we present a framework for implementing Natural Language Interfaces focused on SOC systems. We propose the use of a rewriting rules grammar (which we call Direct Translation Grammar) to translate action queries in natural language to computational procedures interpretable by the SOC engine. Examples are given for imperative commands in Spanish.
