Abstract

This article presents a general framework for automatic conversion of a piece of text into a diagram that is described in the given text. Such kind of text is often found in many branches of Science & Engineering. Secondary school-level geometric problems are considered as a reference in this study. A knowledge base or lexical resource named GeometryNet is used in interpreting geometric meaning of a given text to draw the corresponding diagram.
