Generating Ad&e ives towExpress the Speaker’s Ar entative Intent

چکیده

We address the problem of generating adjectives in a text generation system. We distinguish between usages of adjectives informing the hearer of a property of an object and usages expressing an intention of the speaker, or an argumentative orientation. For such argumentative usages, we claim that a generator cannot simply map from information in the knowledge base to adjectives. Instead, we identify various knowledge sources necessary to decide whether to use an adjective, what adjective should be selected and what syntactic function it should have. We show how these decisions interact with lexical properties of adjectives and the syntax of the clause. We propose a mechanism for adjective selection and illustrate it in the context of the eXpktnatiOn component of the ADVISOR expert system. We describe an implementation of adjective selection using a version of Functional Unification Grammars.

Generating Argument at ive J ent eterminers

This paper presents a procedure to generate judgment determiners, e.g., many, few. Although such determiners carry very little objective information, they are extensively used in everyday language. The paper presents a precise characterization of a class of such determiners using three semantic tests. A conceptual representation for sets is then derived from this characterization which can serv...

تاثیر دوازده هفته تمرین هوازی بر سطوح رسیستین سرم و شاخص‌های AR، HOMA-AD و IRAR در مردان چاق کم‌تحرک

Background: Resistin levels and insulin resistance increase in obese humans. Also, inactive life is associated with high risk of increased insulin resistance. The purpose of this study was to investigate effect of twelve weeks aerobic training on serum levels of resistin, and adiponectin-resistin (AR), homeostasis model assessment-adiponectin (HOMA-AD), and IRAR indices in sedentary obese men. ...

Ethyl acetylene adsorption on the surface of a BN nanotube: A Computational study

Abstract: Electrical sensitivity of a boron nitride nanotube (BNNT) was examined toward ethyl acetylene (C4H6) molecule by using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-31G (d) level, and it was found that the adsorption energy (Ead) of ethyl acetylene the pristine nanotubes is about -1.60kcal/mol. But when nanotube has been doped with Si an...

Interruptions as Speech Acts

This paper introduces a model of human communication in which ‘accounting-for’ is the basis of meaning, and argues that interruptions should be handled in the same way as any other speech act. The model has at its core the idea that human languages are inherently intentional – we focus on our conversational partner’s goals – and that what is needed is mixed initiative at the level of intent. It...
