How to Prepare an API for Programming in Natural Language
Abstract:
Natural language interfaces are becoming more and more
common but are extremely difficult to build, to maintain, and to port to
new domains. NLCI, the Natural Language Command Interpreter, is an
architecture for building and porting such interfaces quickly.
NLCI accepts commands as plain English texts and translates the input sentences into sequences of API calls that implement the intended
actions. At its core is an ontology that models the API.
In this demonstration we show how a developer can provide a natural
language interface for his or her API by preparing an API ontology. We
also show how NLCI analyzes the input text. As an example we use an
API that steers a Lego EV3 robot. A short video illustrating the process
is available at http://dx.doi.org/10.5445/DIVA/2019-692.
