Towards an Account of Causation in a Multilingual Text Generation System
نویسنده
چکیده
Causation is a very pervasive phenomenom in natural language which can be expressed by numerous linguistic alternatives. Any language user or natural language generation system is thus confronted with the .problem of choosing one alternative over another. In this paper, I analyze the semantic constraints determining the selection of analytic causatives in Dutch and how this can be accounted for in a systemic functional generation system.

Multilingual Revision
Natural Language Generation has made great strides towards multilingual generation from large-scale knowledge sources. Meanwhile, current research in revision has vastly improved the quality of text that NLG systems produce. However, to-date there has been no attempt at combining revision and multilingual NLG. This paper presents research in multilingual revision, the last major pipelined NLG c...
متن کاملMultilingual Natural Language Generation for Multilingual Software: A Functional Linguistic Approach
In this paper we present an implemented account of multilingual linguistic resources for multilingual text generation that improves significantly on the degree of re-use of resources both across languages and across applications. We argue that this is a necessary step for multilingual generation in order to reduce the high cost of constructing linguistic resources and to make NLG relevant for a...

متن کاملMultilingual Natural Language Generation within Abstractive Summarization
With the tremendous amount of textual data available in the Internet, techniques for abstractive text summarization become increasingly appreciated. In this paper, we present work in progress that tackles the problem of multilingual text summarization using semantic representations. Our system is based on abstract linguistic structures obtained from an analysis pipeline of disambiguation, synta...
