| Abstract | Smart home assistants are becoming a norm due to their ease-of-use. They employ spoken language as an interface, facilitating easy interaction with their users. Even with their obvious advantages, natural-language based interfaces are not prevalent outside the domain of home assistants. It is hard to adopt them for computer-controlled systems due to the numerous complexities involved with their implementation in varying fields. The main challenge is the grounding of natural language base terms into the underlying system's primitives. The existing systems that do use natural language interfaces are specific to one problem domain only.In this paper, a domain-agnostic framework that creates natural language interfaces for computer-controlled systems has been developed by creating a customizable mapping between the language constructs and the system primitives. The framework employs ontologies built using OWL (Web Ontology Language) for knowledge representation and machine learning models for language processing tasks. |
