Aspects of Automated Natural Language Generation : 6th International Workshop on Natural Language Generation Trente, Italy, April 5-7 1992 Proceedings

"This volume presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Automated Natural Language Generation held in Castel Ivano, Trento, Italy, April 5-7, 1992. Besides an invited lecture by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann, a well-known researcher in computer animation, on creating and visualizing speech and emotion, the volume includes the 17 thouroughly reviewed papers accepted for presentation, selected out of the submissions to the Workshop, as well as 11 statements contributed to panels on multilinguality and generation or extending language generation to multiple media. The accepted papers by leading researchers from Japan, North America and Europe fall in sections on generator system architecture, issues in realisation, issues in discourse structure, and beyond traditional generation."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE A model for creating and visualizing speech and emotion....Pages 1-12 Integrated natural language generation systems....Pages 13-28 An integrated view of text planning....Pages 29-44 Integrating text planning and linguistic choice by annotating linguistic structures....Pages 45-56 Employing knowledge resources in a new text planner architecture....Pages 57-72 Type-driven suppression of redundancy in the generation of inference-rich reports....Pages 73-88 Controlling content realization with functional unification grammars....Pages 89-104 Syntactic selection in linguistic realization: A comparative study....Pages 105-118 A constraint logic programming treatment of syntactic choice in natural language generation....Pages 119-134 Generating utterances in dialogue systems....Pages 135-149 Monologue as a turn in dialogue: Towards an integration of exchange structure and rhetorical structure theory....Pages 151-166 Abducing temporal discourse....Pages 167-182 Using system networks to build rhetorical structures....Pages 183-198 Customizing RST for the automatic production of technical manuals....Pages 199-214 Text revision: A model and its implementation....Pages 215-230 Transparently-motivated metaphor generation....Pages 231-246 Generating referring expressions in a multimodal environment....Pages 247-262 The performance of an incremental generation component for multi-modal dialog contributions....Pages 263-276 Multimedia presentation planning as an extension of text planning....Pages 277-280 Visible language: Multimodal constraints in information presentation....Pages 281-283 Generation of multimodal weather reports....Pages 284-286 Steps toward hypergeneration....Pages 287-289 WIP: Integrating text and graphics design for adaptive information presentation....Pages 290-292 Constructing an interlingua using generator resources....Pages 293-296 Bilingual report generation: Experience with interlingae....Pages 297-299 Multilingual generation: Dimensions of organization and forms of representation....Pages 300-302 On language-independent inputs for multilingual generation....Pages 303-305 Remarks on multilinguality and generation....Pages 306-308

This volume presents the proceedings of the Sixth International Workshop on Automated Natural Language Generation held in Castel Ivano, Trento, Italy, April 5-7,
