Unfortunately his general knowledge of the earlier historical periods is defective, and, throughout, the background to medical events is mostly lacking.

Combined positron-emission tomography–computed tomography is becoming a widely used imaging technique in nuclear medicine and nuclear radiology. Its unique dual functional-anatomical imaging capacity is highly complementary to conventional imaging, and it has become an integral part of the multidisciplinary clinical management of cancer in Hong Kong. The clinical value, efficacy, limitations, a...

When we describe an object in order to enable a listener to identify it, we often do so by indicating the location of that object with respect to other objects in a scene. This requires the use of a relational referring expression; while these are very common, they are relatively unexplored in work on referring expression generation. In this paper, we describe an experiment in which we gathered...

The GREC task of the Referring Expression Generation Challenge 2008 is to select appropriate references to the main subject in given texts. This means to select the correct type of the referring expressions such as name, pronoun, common, or elision (empty). We employ for the selection different learning techniques with the aim to find the most appropriate one for the task and the used attribute...

The WebNLG challenge consists in mapping sets of RDF triples to text. It provides a common benchmark on which to train, evaluate and compare “microplanners”, i.e. generation systems that verbalise a given content by making a range of complex interacting choices including referring expression generation, aggregation, lexicalisation, surface realisation and sentence segmentation. In this paper, w...
