Demo for using natural language to generate nmstate YAML for linux bridge.

[cathay4t]

Input: Please create a linux bridge br0 using eth1 and eth2.

Output:

---
interfaces:
  - name: br0
    type: linux-bridge
    state: up
    bridge:
      ports:
        - name: eth1
        - name: eth2

Please treat it as natural language parsing, not regex string parsing on input.

I would like to work on this issue. Please assign it to me! @cathay4t

@cathay4t you sent this to me on slack , kindly assign it to me, thanks

[cathay4t]

Sure. Sorry for double assignments. But I guess these is no correct solution to this, maybe we can learn from other's approach.

Please enjoy hacking and let me know if you need anything.

@cathay4t what algorithms do you anticipate utilizing to handle the natural language inputs, ensure accuracy in understanding user intents and basically to analyze historical network state changes and user interactions.

i am asking such that I am not offside, coz I suppose you consider security and privacy

@cathay4t @ffmancera are you able to kindly give me some review here of some small demo;

I am also new to this AI/ML/NLP stuff.

But base on my google search, with https://github.com/guillaume-be/rust-bert , I can ask rust-bert a question like what's the name of the bridge with user's input as context. Once NLP reply br0, I can ask about ports of it. With enough information collected, I can generate a nmstate::NetworkState and use serde_yaml to print it out.

this is super helpful
thanks @cathay4t for the useful pointers

This is an interesting approach.
