Conciseness through Aggregation in Text Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
Aggregating different pieces of similar information is necessary to generate concise and easy to understand reports in technical domains. This paper presents a general algorithm that combines similar messages in order to generate one or more coherent sentences for them. The process is not as trivial as might be expected. Problems encountered are briefly described.

متن کاملPredicting sentential semantic compatibility for aggregation in text-to-text generation
We examine the task of aggregation in the context of text-to-text generation. We introduce a new aggregation task which frames the process as grouping input sentence fragments into clusters that are to be expressed as a single output sentence. We extract datasets for this task from a corpus using an automatic extraction process. Based on the results of a user study, we develop two gold-standard...
متن کاملShould i tell all?: an experiment on conciseness in spoken dialogue
Spoken dialogue systems have a strong requirement to produce concise and informative utterances. While interacting over a phone, users must both understand the system’s utterances, and remember important facts that the system is providing.
