Automated Diagram Generator Using Natural Language Processing

Abstract

In today’s world, Natural Language Processing (NLP) plays an important role in fields such as business, education, sports, marketing, or anywhere that involves human activity. Diagrams are the most important process in information system design and software engineering. Designing is a part of five generic activities of software development. Software Engineer needs to generate software diagrams like Entity Relationship, use case, class diagrams. These diagrams help us to display the contents of the data. They also help us to visualize how the data of our system is connected and make relations among them. In this project, we develop an application by applying NLP techniques which is helpful to generate a software diagram. For this purpose, we are using a structural approach of parsing the sentences (Sentence Segmentation) and tag the chunk of words into different parts of speech (POS Tagger). It can also be used to map these words into functionalities, entities, attributes, and relationships. We are using different types of NLP toolkits. The most important advantage of this project is to reduce the human effort and saves a lot of time
