structural analysis of cooking preparation steps in japanese
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.
