Porting to an Italian Surface Realizer: A Case Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multilingual generation is becoming an increasingly important aspect of implemented systems that showcase the abilities of generation systems. Most such systems require multiple grammars, one for each language which must be deployed. Yet little is known about the development costs for additional languages which are developed not from scratch, but by adapting existing resources. We ported a standard English surface realizer and grammar with wide coverage to Italian. After describing major grammatical differences, we quantitatively specify the porting process and present statistical information for the changes we found necessary to develop the new grammar.

An Investigation to Physical Aspects of Middle Area in Squares as a Useful Indicator for Designing Community-Oriented Urban Plazas (Case Study: Italian Piazzas of Campidoglio in Rome, Del Campo in Siena and San Marco in Venice)
Middle of squares, one of the components of physical aspect is considered as an appropriateindicator in designing successful urban squares, which consequently promotes visual quality. The present study aims todetermine how the above mentioned aspect was presented in the Middle-Ages and Renaissance within Italian squares.Considering the aim of the investigation, library studies as well as visual...
متن کاملTemplate-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 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 کاملRhetorical Goals Surface Generator Functional Realizer Functional Description
In recent years, natural language generation research has begun to mature rapidly. It has witnessed both the appearance of sophisticated oo-the-shelf surface realizations systems and the development in the knowledge representation community of knowledge bases in a variety of domains. However, knowledge bases typically employ a logic formalism while the state-of-the-art surface realizer, Fuf, em...
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...
