Referring Expression Generation Using Speaker-based Attribute Selection and Trainable Realization (ATTR)
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the first REG competition, researchers proposed several general-purpose algorithms for attribute selection for referring expression generation. However, most of this work did not take into account: a) stylistic differences between speakers; or b) trainable surface realization approaches that combine semantic and word order information. In this paper we describe and evaluate several end-to-end referring expression generation algorithms that take into consideration speaker style and use data-driven surface realization techniques.

Trainable Speaker-Based Referring Expression Generation
Previous work in referring expression generation has explored general purpose techniques for attribute selection and surface realization. However, most of this work did not take into account: a) stylistic differences between speakers; or b) trainable surface realization approaches that combine semantic and word order information. In this paper we describe and evaluate several end-to-end referri...
متن کاملCombining Referring Expression Generation and Surface Realization: A Corpus-Based Investigation of Architectures
We suggest a generation task that integrates discourse-level referring expression generation and sentence-level surface realization. We present a data set of German articles annotated with deep syntax and referents, including some types of implicit referents. Our experiments compare several architectures varying the order of a set of trainable modules. The results suggest that a revision-based ...
متن کاملTrainable Referring Expression Generation using Overspecification Preferences
Referring expression generation (REG)models that use speaker-dependent information require a considerable amount of training data produced by every individual speaker, or may otherwise perform poorly. In this work we present a simple REG experiment that allows the use of larger training data sets by grouping speakers according to their overspecification preferences. Intrinsic evaluation shows t...
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 کاملCross-linguistic Attribute Selection for REG: Comparing Dutch and English
In this paper we describe a cross-linguistic experiment in attribute selection for referring expression generation. We used a graph-based attribute selection algorithm that was trained and cross-evaluated on English and Dutch data. The results indicate that attribute selection can be done in a largely language independent way.
