  • Patent number: 10824777
    Abstract: Techniques for employing natural language processing (NLP) to facilitate geospatial analysis are provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method comprises receiving, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, input information in a natural language format indicating a change to a state of a system comprising different nodes through which physical elements flow, wherein the system is associated with a state model that characterizes movement of the physical elements through the different nodes based on one or more flow parameters. The computer-implemented method further comprises, determining, by the device based on the input information, a subset of the one or more flow parameters associated with the change, determining, by the device based on the input information, one or more constraints to the subset that account for the change, and modifying, by the device, the state model based on the one or more constraints, resulting in a modified state model.
