Typically starting from some non-linguistic representation of information as input, NLG systems use knowledge about language and the application domain to automatically produce documents, reports, explanations, help messages, and other kinds of texts. The book covers the algorithms and representations needed to perform the core tasks of document planning, microplanning, and surface realization, using a case study to show how these components fit together. It also discusses engineering issues such as system architecture, requirements analysis, and the integration of text generation into multimedia and speech output systems SN - 9780511519857 UR - https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511519857 DO - 10.1017/CBO9780511519857 LA - English N1 - Ehud Reiter, Robert Dale ID - 883371634 ER -
