Formalising Pragmatic Information for Natural Language Generation
The main aim of the work presented here is to demonstrate that certain contextual information, traditionally considered to be beyond the scope of semantic representations, can be formalised sufficiently to allow its use in natural language generation (NLG) decisions, in particular syntactic choice. This ‘pragmatic’ information, where the term pragmatic is interpreted as indicating any reference...
متن کاملSyntactic Form and Discourse Function in NLG
Previous research has shown that certain discourse conditions are necessary for the felicitous use of non-canonical syntactic forms like topicalization, left-dislocation, and clefts. However, the distribution of these forms does not correlate one-to-one with the presence of these conditions, and a system that generates these statisticallyrare forms based only on these conditions will overgenera...
متن کاملAutomatic Question Generation using Discourse Cues
In this paper, we present a system that automatically generates questions from natural language text using discourse connectives. We explore the usefulness of the discourse connectives for Question Generation (QG) that looks at the problem beyond sentence level. Our work divides the QG task into content selection and question formation. Content selection consists of finding the relevant part in...
متن کاملGenerating Natural Sentences by Using Shallow Discourse Information
One of the biggest defects of natural language generation systems is that the output sentences are unnatural and contain many redundancies. Machine translation (MT) users, for instance, often get tired of reading the output of MT because of this problem. In this paper, we summarize the results of our analysis of human translation in terms of the use of discourse information to generate target-l...
متن کاملGenerating Ellipsis Using Discourse Structures
This article describes an effort to generate elliptic sentences, using Dependency Trees connected by Discourse Relations as input. We contend that the process of syntactic aggregation should be performed in the Surface Realization stage of the language generation process, and that Dependency Trees with Rhetorical Relations are excellent input for a generation system that has to generate ellipsi...
