Lessons from Deploying NLG Technology for Marine Weather Forecast Text Generation
SUMTIME-MOUSAM is a Natural Language Generation (NLG) system that produces textual weather forecasts for offshore oilrigs from Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) data. It has been used for the past year by Weathernews (UK) Ltd for producing 150 draft forecasts per day, which are then post-edited by forecasters before being released to end-users. In this paper, we describe how the system works, ...
متن کاملWeather Satellites and the Economic Value of Forecasts: Evidence from the Electric Power Industry
Data from weather satellites have become integral to the weather forecast process in the United States and abroad. Satellite data are used to derive improved forecasts for short-term routine weather, long-term climate change, and for predicting natural disasters. The resulting forecasts have saved lives, reduced weather-related economic losses, and improved the quality of life. Weather informat...
متن کاملChoosing words in computer-generated weather forecasts
One of the main challenges in automatically generating textual weather forecasts is choosing appropriate English words to communicate numeric weather data. A corpus-based analysis of how humans write forecasts showed that there were major differences in how individual writers performed this task, that is, in how they translated data into words. These differences included both different preferen...
