“…Natural language processing belongs an area of AI research that attempts to reproduce the process of the human interpretation of language. It uses known data about words and predefined rules that show authorized word structures to give the meaning of descriptions to enable communication between people and computers [12]. [11] mentions three types of knowledge which are used in natural language processing, namely syntactic knowledge, word-sense knowledge, and world knowledge.…”

When dealing with computational models for integrating natural language and graphic representation, it is useful to examine theories of human visual perception and spatial language to discover what kind of processes and representation lie in between. This paper begins with a discussion of systems which have been implemented. It outlines related natural language processing technology and theories that involve in language based scene visualization. We then discuss the way can be used to integration of visual information for scene generation.

“…with the exception of their use for CAD drawing functions. At this stage, EKSPRO offers no natural language facilities for CAD, although some research has been done Samad (1986). At any time, one can bind some objects, class instances or attributes to fixed values, to exclude choices on the same (Task T6); this is easily implemented in PROLOG by binding variables or freezing predicates (Giannesini et ai, 1986).…”

This paper describes EKSPRO, a knowledge-based system integrating a 3-D computer-aided design system for materials, heating, ventilation, lighting equipment, building codes and occupational health regulations, and design guidelines user-defined by architects and engineers. The system features an object-oriented predicate logic knowledge representation, and interfaces with calculation packages (CAD, thermal balance, illumination, daylight).

“…As a matter of fact, although all kinds of natural languages in the world have more or less ambiguity problems, people seldom have trouble in using their languages. In order to gain flexibility and succinctness in the use of language, having ambiguity problems can be a justifiable cost [65]. People seem very good at solving such problems, often efficiently and effectively enough.…”

The objectives of project control systems go beyond documentation to recognition of problems and evaluation of their causes. Through the use of broad information systems, a construction manager today is able to assemble a wide variety of data about his projects or programs. Retrieval, analysis and interpretation of the meaning of these data, however, usually requires the user to have detailed knowledge about the structure and content of the database, use of a data retrieval language, and have further programming skills to have the computer perform analyses.The work reported in this thesis has three goals: to ease retrieval with near-natural language query capabilities, to acquire and accumulate user defined knowedge, and to exercise such knowledge for translation from English terms to database fields or their values, access to database or other information sources, or pre-access and post-access processing. A knowledge based query system, called Expert-MCA, has been developed by coupling the techniques of natural language processing, knowledge-based expert systems, and database management systems. The system architecture will be presented, followed by a description of how knowledge is represented and processed in answering English-like queries. An object-oriented formalism is applied to represent knowledge required in the process of reasoning. Expert-MCA's reasoning capability has been extended by using context driven reasoning, a generalization of reasoning mechanisms used in framed-based systems.
