Advances in Natural Language Generation: An Interdisciplinary Perspective, Volume 2Michael Zock, Gerard Sabah 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. |
