Incremental Generation by Incremental Parsing: Tactical Generation in Dynamic Syntax
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper shows how an incremental tactical generator can be constructed based on the incremental parsing framework described in Dynamic Syntax (DS)(Kempson et al., 2001), without adding a generator-specific vocabulary or intermediate levels of representation. The resulting generator is defined purely in terms of the parsing process, together with a notion of tree subsumption. This is shown to have various advantages including easy self-monitoring and psycholinguistic plausibility. A simple Prolog implementation is described, together with various possible improvements in efficiency.

Context-Based Incremental Generation for Dialogue
This paper describes an implemented model of context-based incremental tactical generation within the Dynamic Syntax framework [1] which directly reflects dialogue phenomena such as alignment, routinization and shared utterances, problematic for many theoretical and computational approaches [2]. In Dynamic Syntax, both parsing and generation are defined in terms of actions on semantic tree stru...
متن کاملIncremental Parsing, Or Incremental Grammar?
Standard grammar formalisms are defined without reflection of the incremental and serial nature of language processing, and incrementality must therefore be reflected by independently defined parsing and/or generation techniques. We argue that this leads to a poor setup for modelling dialogue, with its rich speaker-hearer interaction, and instead propose context-based parsing and generation mod...
متن کاملIncremental Semantics Driven Natural Language Generation with Self-Repairing Capability
This paper presents the on-going development of a model of incremental semantics driven natural language generation (NLG) for incremental dialogue systems. The approach is novel in its tight integration of incremental goal-driven semantics and syntactic construction, utilizing Type Theory with Records (TTR) record types for goal concepts as its input and the grammar formalism Dynamic Syntax (DS...

متن کاملProcessing Self-Repairs in an Incremental Type-Theoretic Dialogue System
We present a novel incremental approach to modelling self-repair phenomena in dialogue, using the grammar and parsing mechanism of Dynamic Syntax (DS) to construct Type Theory with Records (TTR) record type representations incrementally in both parsing and generation. We demonstrate how a DS-TTR hybrid implementation when integrated into an incremental dialogue system can be exploited to accoun...
