Natural Language Interface technology in computer games : AN EVALUATION OF NATURAL LANGUAGE PARSERS IN COMPUTER GAMES

Sammanfattning: A Natural Language Interface is an interface that operates on language input rather thanmouse and keyboard. It works by parsing the input into terms, and then parsing these termsinto a logic statement that can be processed. The efficiency and viability of Natural LanguageInterfaces in computer games was compared to the normal input of keyboard and mouse.This was done by having test users play a game with NLI and then running their inputsthrough a semantic parser. The results indicate that NLI in its current state is less efficient asa way of input than the keyboard/mouse way.
