A complete integrated NLG system using AI and NLU tools
Résumé
A standard architecture for an NLG system has
been defined in (Reiter and Dale, 2000). Their
work describes the modularization of an NLG
system and the tasks of each module. However,
they do not indicate what kind of tools can
be used by each module. Nevertheless, we believe
that certain tools widely used by the AI or
NLU community are appropriate for NLG tasks.
This paper presents a complete integrated NLG
system which uses a Description logic for the
content determination module, Segmented Discourse
Representation Theory for the document
structuring module and a lexicalized formalism
for the tactical component. The NLG system,
which takes into account a user model, is illustrated
with a generator which produces texts
explaining the steps taken by a proof assistant.
