Advances in Natural Language Generation: An Interdisciplinary Perspective: v. 1 (Communication in Artificial Intelligence Series) - Hardcover

Reseña del editor

This collection of essays deals with the problem of natural language generation, that is: how to simulate by computer the determinism, organization and expression of thoughts in oral or written form. Compared to sentence or text-analysis (parsing) little work has been done in the field of generation, which is still a young discipline. Natural language generation is a complex task requiring different kinds of expertise. This work aims to avoid the problems encountered by automatic translation projects in the past by opening the debate and integrating specialists from a variety of disciplines. The contributors to these volumes bring a diversity of perspectives to address the problems of natural language generation and to suggest solutions. This is the first volume of a two volume work.
