Turn sentences into their "imperative" form
Hello!
Got one question only a linguist could answer. Since I do not know anything about the field, don't be offended if it sounds stupid!
I am currently working on a personal project involving automated classification of user's queries.
Is it possible to turn any given sentence automatically into its "imperative" form, with an algorithm, a formula, or whatever software ?
E.g:
"You will prepare and serve a selection of snacks and meals from a set menu. Other duties will include rotating and ordering stock and keeping the kitchen clean and tidy."
should be presented as:
"Prepare and serve snacks and meals"
"Rotate and order stock"
"Keep kitchen clean"
Help me please!!!!!
Thanks!!!!

That said, there are probably companies like IBM, Google, Yahoo, Apple, and so on, not to mention the US Department of Defense, which do ha
