A Media-Independent Content Language For Integrated Text And Graphics Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a media-independent knowledge representation scheme, or content language, for describing the content of communicative goals and actions. The language is used within an intelligent system for automatically generating integrated text and information graphics presentations about complex, quantitative information. The language is designed to satisfy four requirements: to represent information about complex quantitative relations and aggregate properties; compositionality; to represent certain pragmatic distinctions needed for satisfying communicative goals; and to be usable as input by the media-speci c generators in our system.

A Principled Representation Of Attributive Descriptions For Generating Integrated Text And Information Graphics Presentations
This paper describes a media-independent, compositional, plan-based approach to representing attributive descriptions for use in integrated text and graphics generation. An attributive description's main function is to convey information directly contributing to the communicative goals of a discourse, whereas a referential description's only function is to enable the audience to identify a part...

متن کاملGenerating Multimedia Briefings: Language Generation in a Coordinated Multimedia Environment
Communication can be more effective when several media (such as text, speech, or graphics) are integrated and coordinated to present information. This changes the nature of media specific generation (e.g., language generation) which must take into account the multimedia context in which it occurs. In this paper, 1 wi l l present work on coordinating and integrating speech, text, static and anim...
متن کاملMedia - independent Communicative Actions in Integrated Text andGraphics
The research reported here is part of an ongoing eeort to design systems which can automatically generate integrated text and information graphics presentations. We are investigating the integration of two complementary approaches: hierarchical planning and task-based graphic design. A hierarchical planner is used to construct a media-independent plan of illocutionary actions which are ultimate...
متن کاملSome Layout Issues for Multimedia Argument Generation
We are interested in the problem of text layout as it relates to our work on the intelligent generation of integrated text and information graphics (e.g., tables, bar charts, plots, maps) the AutoBrief system (Kerpedjiev et al. 1997; Green, Carenini, & Moore 1998; Green et al. 1998). Intelligent layout generation is related to the problems of media allocation and cross-media cue generation. We ...
