  7. Abstract:
  8. The design and development process of menu systems has always been a focus of researchers and engineers in the fields of software engineering and human-computer interaction. Considering the large and complex nature of the design space, it is nec- essary to provide automatic methods that aid designers during the design process. In this study, natural language processing is used to investigate the semantic relationship between menu system commands. Users expect related commands to be conveniently located next to each other, and a properly designed interface satisfies this need. As a result of this research, a fast-text-based model is developed that uses the data of past menu systems. In a query-oriented evaluation, the developed model has performed 23.74% better on average than similar models trained with public data. This means that in queries, the developed model will return more related commands. In another contribution of this research, the visual evaluation of user interfaces is investigated. A good design scores high on most visual evaluation metrics. In this research, some of the most important visual evaluation metrics are selected, implemented, and tested. Also, in order to give appropriate feedback to the designer, the limits of suitable, acceptable, and unacceptable values of each of the metrics are determined.
