Proposal of Annotation Method for RPA Scenario

Work automation using RPA tools is rapidly becoming more widespread. When it comes to implementing horizontal expansion or maintaining existing RPA scenarios, operators are first required to read and interpret the RPA scenarios. However, it is typically quite difficult to get a complete picture of the scenario simply by reading the scenario due to a lot of works and specialized skills required. In this paper, we propose a method to automatically generate explanatory sentences in natural language using logs generated on the basis of RPA scenarios so that operators can read them directly and understand the content. However, in this paper only Japanese is aimed at. Subjective evaluations conducted with several participants in our previous study [4] have shown that sentences generated by the proposed method can be utilized for the interpretation of RPA scenarios. However, this study did not specify how to obtain nouns (operation points), which are necessary elements for generating explanatory text. Therefore, we developed a new method to acquire nouns (operation points), generated explanatory sentences based on them, and conducted evaluation experiments. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed method can generate explanatory sentences from operation logs that can be utilized for interpreting RPA scenarios.
