Generating User-Adapted Hypermedia from Discourse Plans
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how hypermedia instruction manuals can be generated from a discourse plan: intentional and rhetorical knowledge in the plan tree are employed to construct the hypermedia elements, to assemble them into pages and to introduce links among them. Plan tree transformation functions are defined so as to ensure that generated hypermedia respect interface usability and Web design criteria. User adaptation is performed by parametrizing these functions: this method enables building the hypermedia according to a dynamic assessment of the user needs.

A Model For Generating Better Explanations
Previous work in generating explanations from advicegiving systems has demonstrated that a cooperative system can and should infer the immediate goals and plans of an utterance (or discourse segment) and formulate a response in light of these goals and plans. The claim of this paper is that a cooperative response may also have to address a user's overall goals, plans, and preferences among thos...
متن کاملClustering Semantics for Discourse Generation
In earlier work, we have shown how clustering techniques can transform semantic markup into discourse, which style sheets can transform into hypermedia presentations. This paper discusses the different clustering techniques for deriving discourse from semantics. These techniques use properties, relations and numerical properties of information objects and semantic networks. We show how these cl...
متن کاملEvaluating Plan-Based Hypermedia Generation
This paper describes a algorithm for generating a hypermedia from a discourse plan and discusses results of an experimental evaluation study whose aim was to assess whether hypotheses behind the generation method were justified. A first aid hypermedia instruction manual is taken as a case study to illustrate the algorithm.
متن کاملCombining Coherence and Adaptation in Discourse-Oriented Hypermedia Generation
This paper provides a solution to discourse structure adaptation in the process of automatic hypermedia presentation generation. Existing approaches to discourse structure composition are based on the assumption that a user can comprehend relations between the elements in a discourse structure if the overall structure is semantically coherent. This assumption does not, so far, take into account...
متن کاملThe dynamic generation of hypertext presentations of medical guidelines
Abstract We describe a project aimed at developing a tool to generate user and context-adapted textual descriptions of clinical guidelines on the World Wide Web. ARIANNA employs two knowledge sources (a decision tree and a taxonomy of concepts in the clinical domain) and schema and ATN-based NLG techniques, to dynamically generate the hypermedia. This appears to the user as a frameset with thre...
