Prototyping Controlled Mathematical Languages in Jupyter Notebooks.

The Grammatical Logical Framework (GLF) is a framework for prototyping the translation of natural language sentences into logic. The motivation behind GLF was to apply it to mathematical language, as the classical compositional approach to semantics construction seemed most suitable for a domain where high precision was mandatory-even at the price of limited coverage. In particular, software for formal mathematics (such as proof checkers) require formal input languages. These are typically difficult to understand and learn, raising the entry barrier for potential users. A solution is to design input languages that closely resemble natural language. Early results indicate that GLF can be a useful tool for quickly prototyping such languages. In this paper, we will explore how GLF can be used to prototype such languages and present a new Jupyter kernel that4 adds visual support for the development of GLF-based syntax/semantics interfaces.
