We describe a method and its implementation for self-monitoring during natural language generation. In situations of communication where the generation of ambiguous utterances sho...
The set of partially interdependent lexical and syntactic decisions that have to be made in the process of natural language generation are best seen as a complex planning and sear...
This paper introduces an approach to representing the kinds of information that components in a natural language generation (NLG) system will need to communicate to one another. T...

In natural language generation, different generation tasks often interact with each other in a complex way, which is hard to capture in the pipeline architecture described by Reit...
The view that communication is a form of action serving a variety of specific functions has had a tremendous impact on the philosophy of language and on computational linguistics....
We present Xenon, a natural language generation system capable of distinguishing between nearsynonyms. It integrates a near-synonym choice module with an existing sentence realiza...
This paper describes the construction of language choice models for the microplanning of discourse relations in a Natural Language Generation system that attempts to generate appr...
For people who use text-based web browsers, graphs, diagrams, and pictures are inaccessible. Yet, such diagrams are quite prominent in documents commonly found on the web. In this...

Ordering information is a critical task for natural language generation applications. In this paper we propose an approach to information ordering that is particularly suited for ...
A natural language generation system must generate expressions that allow a reader to identify the entities to which they refer. This paper describes the creation of referring-exp...
