A Framework for MT and Multilingual NLG Systems Based on Uniform Lexico-Structural Processing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe an implemented framework for developing monolingual or multilingual natural language generation (NLG) applications and machine translation (MT) applications. The framework demonstrates a uniform approach to generation and transfer based on declarative lexico-structural transformations of dependency structures of syntactic or conceptual levels ("uniform lexico-structural processing"). We describe how this framework has been used in practical NLG and MT applications, and report the lessons learned.

Handling Translation Divergences in Generation-Heavy Hybrid Machine Translation
This paper describes a novel approach for handling translation divergences in a Generation-Heavy Hybrid Machine Translation (GHMT) system. The approach depends on the existence of rich target language resources such as word lexical semantics, including information about categorial variations and subcate-gorization frames. These resources are used to generate multiple structural variations from ...
متن کاملMultilingual Revision
Natural Language Generation has made great strides towards multilingual generation from large-scale knowledge sources. Meanwhile, current research in revision has vastly improved the quality of text that NLG systems produce. However, to-date there has been no attempt at combining revision and multilingual NLG. This paper presents research in multilingual revision, the last major pipelined NLG c...
متن کاملReusing MT Components in Natural Language Generation for Dialogue Systems∗
This paper describes ongoing research on NLG for dialogue systems. Sentence planning is performed by selecting the appropriate template, while previously developed transfer and generation components of a transfer–based MT architecture perform the lexicalization and linguistic realization processes in the generation process. This approach allows for multilingual generation since there is a clear...
متن کاملA multilingual FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon for controlled natural language
Berkeley FrameNet is a lexico-semantic resource for English based on the theory of frame semantics. It has been exploited in a range of natural language processing applications and has inspired the development of framenets for many languages. We present a methodological approach to the extraction and generation of a computational multilingual FrameNet-based grammar and lexicon. The approach lev...
متن کاملEvaluation of NLG: Some Analogies and Differences with Machine Translation and Reference Resolution
This short paper first outlines an explanatory model that contrasts the evaluation of systems for which human language appears in their input with systems for which language appears in their output, or in both input and output. The paper then compares metrics for NLG evaluation with those applied to MT systems, and then with the case of reference resolution, which is the reverse task of generat...
