ABSTRACT
We propose a method to create process flow graphs automatically from textbooks for cooking programs. This is realized by understanding context by narrowing down the domain to cooking, and making use of domain specific constraints and knowledge. Since it is relatively easy to extract significant keywords from cooking procedures, we create a domain specific dictionary by statistical methods, and propose a structural analysis method using the dictionary. In order to evaluate the ability of the proposed method, we applied the method to actual procedures as an experiment, which showed effective results. The same experiment was also performed on a different program, which showed lower accuracy but also showed realistic results.

Structural analysis of procedural texts for generating flow graphs
iiWAS '17: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & ServicesThe volume of procedural texts, which describe the steps to reach a goal state, continue to increase. This paper proposes structural analysis methods for generating flow graphs from procedural texts. Examples of typical procedural texts include cooking ...
