Enhancing Simulation Analysis Reporting Using Natural Language Feedback

这个项目是对模拟和自然语言的关系和联合使用的探索。概念结构可以表示句子的结构和意义，也可以表示基本的数学概念。句子可以转换成这些结构，通过语言生成，这些结构可以转换成数学方程。使用纳米浮游生物呼吸模型的文本描述说明了一个例子。这位研究者之前的研究集中在将文本翻译成适合数值模拟的方程。目前的研究关注的是相反方向的映射，生成自然语言文本而不是传统的模拟运行的数值输出。通过这种方式，分析人员将能够以文本方式描述物理系统，然后获得描述系统行为的文本响应。

This project is an exploration of the relationships and the joint use of simulation and natural language. Conceptual structures are used which can represent the structure and meaning of sentences as well as basic mathematical concepts. Sentences can be transformed to these structures, and, via language generation, the structures can be transformed into mathematical equations. An example is illustrated using a text description of a nanoplankton respiration model. Previous research by this investigator has concentrated on the translation of text to equations suitable for numerical simulation. The current research concerns mapping in the opposite direction, generating natural language text instead of the traditional numerical output from a simulation run. In this manner, the analyst will be able to textually describe a physical system and then obtain textual responses that describe the system behavior.
