Architectures for Natural Language Generation: Problems and Perspectives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Current research in natural language generation is situated in a computational linguistics tradition that was founded several decades ago. We critically analyse some of the architectural assumptions underlying existing systems and point out some problems in the domains of text planning and lexicalization. Guided by the identification of major generation challenges viewed from the angles of knowledge-based systems and cognitive psychology, we sketch some new directions for future research.

Performance Evaluation of Thermal Power Generation Companies using Integrated Proposed Trustable BWM Algorithm and BSC Model (A Real Case Study)
In order to keep and improve the position of thermal power generation companies in the competitive market, performance evaluation is necessary. BSC is one of the most efficient performance evaluation models. In this model, there are two assumptions of equal weights of perspectives and equal weights of performance evaluation indicators, which are not necessarily true in real-world problems. BWM ...
متن کاملUna arquitectura software para el desarrollo de aplicaciones de generación de lenguaje natural
This paper proposes the development of an object oriented framework for Natural Language Generation Systems (NLG). It reviews the architectures used to date and a proposal for a generic architecture, and it describes the type of solution that is desired. From this information it is shown how the use of software engineering techniques, like Object Oriented Design or Design Patterns, can solve th...
متن کاملSome Neglected Aspects of the Generation Task
Looking to the future, generators will have more knowledge of language and will have to deal with inputs which are very rich in information. As a result, several problems will become more acute, including selecting what to say at the sub-proposition level and dealing with interaction among goals and dependencies among choices. This paper explains how these problems arise and why they are hard t...
متن کاملPipelines, Templates and Transformations: XML for Natural Language Generation
The paper discusses a number of ways in which XML can be used in natural language generation, including XML-based pipeline architectures, template-based generation with XSL templates, and tree-totree transformations. The ideas are based on practical experience in building an experimental XMLbased generation component for a spoken dialogue system. Prototype implementations using DOM, XSL and Tra...
متن کاملInvestigating NLG Architectures: taking style into consideration
In this paper we propose a methodology for investigating the relationship between architectures of natural language generation (NLG) systems and stylistic properties of texts. Biber's (1988) methodology is used to obtain both the characterisation of style of our corpus and the division of the corpus into sets of linguistically similar texts. These sets will be used for studying the architectura...
