Narratological Knowledge for Natural Language Generation

Kalos - A Syste for Natural Language Generatio with Revision

Using revision to produce extended natural language text through a series of drafts provides three significant advantages over a traditional natural language generation system. First, it reduces complexity through task decomposition. Second, it promotes text polishing techniques that benefit from the ability to examine generated text in the context of the underlying knowledge from which it was ...

Using Speech Acts in Logic-Based Rhetorical Structuring for Natural Language Generation in Human-Computer Dialogue

Usually, human-computer dialogue systems rely on ad-hoc solutions for the component performing speech turn generation, in natural language. However, integration of taskspecific and general world knowledge in order to provide a more reliable and natural interaction with humans also through more sophisticated language generation techniques becomes needed. In this paper we present performance impr...

Acquiring Correct Knowledge for Natural Language Generation

Tools for Authoring Tutorial Dialogue Knowledge

The current generation of intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) have successfully produced learning gains without the use of natural language technology, but the goal for the next generation is to add natural language dialogue capabilities. Since it is already a tremendous effort to add domain and pedagogical knowledge to the current generation of ITSs, adding natural language dialogue capabilitie...

A Narratological Approach for Narrative Discourse: Implementation and Evaluation of the System based on Genette and Jauss

This paper proposes a computational system of narrative discourse generation and its implementation. In the system, Genette’s discourse theory is reconstructed as discourse techniques which transform the tree structure for a story into discourse structures. Also, we introduce Jauss’s reception theory to construct the control mechanism, which continues discourse generation through generation cyc...
