We describe a statistical Natural Language Generation (NLG) method for summarisation of time-series data in the context of feedback generation for students. In this paper, we initially present a method for collecting time-series data from students (e.g. marks, lectures attended) and use example feedback from lecturers in a datadriven approach to content selection. We show a novel way of constru...
