Multiple Discourse Marker Occurrence: Creating Hierarchies for Natural Language Generation
نویسنده
چکیده
Most studies on discourse markers implicitly assume that only one marker or discourse relation will occur in a sentence. In reality, more than one relation may hold between text spans and may be cued by multiple discourse markers. We describe here a method for hierarchically organising discoursemarkers. The hierarchies are intended for use by a generation system to enable the selection and placement of more than one marker in a single text span.

Event Schema Induction Based on Relational Co-occurrence over Multiple Documents
Event schema which comprises a set of related events and participants is of great importance with the development of information extraction (IE) and inducing event schema is prerequisite for IE and natural language generation. Event schema and slots are usually designed manually for traditional IE tasks. Methods for inducing event schemas automatically have been proposed recently. One of the fu...
متن کاملIntegrating Discourse Markers into a Pipelined Natural Language Generation Architecture
Pipelined Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems have grown increasingly complex as architectural modules were added to support language functionalities such as referring expressions, lexical choice, and revision. This has given rise to discussions about the relative placement of these new modules in the overall architecture. Recent work on another aspect of multi-paragraph text, discourse m...

In text, discourse markers signal the kind of coherence relation holding between adjacent text spans; for example, because, since; and for this reason are different markers for causal relations. Fo r any but the most simple applications of text generation, marker Selection is an important aspect of producing cohesive text. However, present systems use markers in fairly simplistic ways andcannot...
متن کاملPoliteness Orientation in Social Hierarchies in Urdu
The present research is aimed at investigating how the politeness of the speakers of Urdu is influenced by their relative social status in society. The researcher took politeness theory of Brown and Levinson (1978, 1987) as a model. To observe politeness of Urdu speakers, speech act of apology with different strategies was selected. A Discourse Completion Task (DCT) was used as an instrument to...
متن کاملText Polishing: Surface-Oriented Smoothing of Generated Text via Markup-Based Revision Rules
In this paper, we introduce text polishing, a novel, surface-oriented approach to using revisions in natural language generation in order to improve the fluency of generated texts. In this approach, markupbased revision rules are used to implement sentence planning operations such as aggregation, referring expression generation and discourse marker insertion. By working close to the surface, we...
