A Simple Surface Realizer for Filipino
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface realizers are used at the final phase of natural language text generation to convert abstract or symbolic representations of information to linguistic forms in a particular human language. Rules of grammar for the target language are applied to produce text that is syntactically, morphologically and orthographically correct. In this paper, we present the development of FilSuRe, a simple surface realizer for Filipino. We also present how the Booklat system was produced by revising the realization phase of a prototype automatic story generator system, Picture Books, to use the API library of FilSuRe in order to generate children’s stories in Filipino.

Template-Based Surface Realization for Referring Expression Generation
This paper describes the template-based surface realizer which was used by the GRAPH team in the TUNA-REG Challenge 2009 in combination with an attribute selection algorithm used in previous editions of the TUNA challenges. The new template-based realizer is compared to the realizer used by the GRAPH team in the REG 2008 Challenge and to an improved version of the 2008 realizer. Results show no...
متن کاملDetermining the position of adverbial phrases in English
In this paper we compare three approaches to adverbial positioning using lexical, syntactic, semantic and sentence-level features. We find that: (a), oneand two-stage classificationbased approaches can achieve almost 86% accuracy in determining the absolute position of adverbials; (b) a classifier trained with only syntactic features gives performance close to that of a classifier trained with ...
متن کاملUCM Submission to the Surface Realization Challenge
This document describes the surface realization solution submitted by UCM to the Surface Realization Challenge. The UCM submission operates over the shallow representation of the challenge input. This submission to the surface realization challenge relies on an old-fashioned surface realizer based on unification with a grammar. Because this surface realizer requires fully specified inputs, a co...
متن کاملExtending a Surface Realizer to Generate Coherent Discourse
We present a discourse-level Tree Adjoining Grammar which tightly integrates syntax and discourse levels, including a representation for discourse entities. We show that this technique makes it possible to extend an optimisation algorithm used in natural language generation (polarity filtering) to the discourse level. We implemented the grammar in a surface realizer and show that this technique...
متن کاملBuilding Surface Realizers Automatically from Corpora
In this paper, we evaluate the feasibility of automatically acquiring surface realizers from corpora using general-purpose parsing tools and lexicons. We present a basic architecture for acquiring a generation grammar, describe a surface realizer that uses grammars developed in this way, and present a set of experiments on different corpora that highlight possible improvements in our approach.
