چکیده

This paper reports on attempts at Aberdeen1 to measure the effects on readers’ emotions of positively and negatively “slanted” texts with the same basic message. The “slanting” methods could be implemented in an (NLG) system. We discuss a number of possible reasons why the studies were unable to show clear, statistically significant differences between the effects of the different texts.

Although varying the content of generated language (“strategic” choices) might be expected to change the effect on emotions, it is not obvious that varying the form of the language (“tactical” choices) can do this. Indeed, previo...

Towards Affective Natural Language Generation: Empirical Investigations

This paper reports on attempts to measure the differing effects on readers’ emotions of positively and negatively “slanted” texts with the same basic message. The methods of “slanting” the texts are methods that could be used automatically by a Natural Language Generation (NLG) system. A pilot study and a main experiment are described which use emotion self-reporting methods from Psychology. Al...

Applying Explanation-based Learning to Control and Speeding-up Natural Language Generation

This paper presents a method for the automatic extraction of subgrammars to control and speeding-up natural language generation NLG. The method is based on explanation-based learning EBL. The main advantage for the proposed new method for NLG is that the complexity of the grammatical decision making process during NLG can be vastly reduced, because the EBL method supports the adaption of a NLG ...
