ON THE BEST WAY OF DESIGNATING OBJECTS IN SENTENCE GENERATION

ON THE BEST WAY OF DESIGNATING OBJECTS IN SENTENCE GENERATION This paper deals with a problem encountered in natural language generation which seems to have been largely ignored in the literature, that of generating nonambiguous i.e. discriminating designations of objects in a given context, from a knowledge basis, which associates the properties and relations, concerning the objects present in the environment, with their respective formal labels. A search algorithm of type A is proposed, which always generates a discriminating designation when such a designation exists in terms of the available knowledge for the evaluation the algorithm uses a subjective length function which takes into account the intelligibility of the designation. This work takes place in the SYROCO system, a dialogue interface for limited domains of discourse the sentence interpretation as well as the sentence generation in SYROCO are briefly presented in the first part of this paper. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Kybernetes Emerald Publishing

Abstract

This paper deals with a problem encountered in natural language generation which seems to have been largely ignored in the literature, that of generating nonambiguous i.e. discriminating designations of objects in a given context, from a knowledge basis, which associates the properties and relations, concerning the objects present in the environment, with their respective formal labels. A search algorithm of type A is proposed, which always generates a discriminating designation when such a designation exists in terms of the available knowledge for the evaluation the algorithm uses a subjective length function which takes into account the intelligibility of the designation. This work takes place in the SYROCO system, a dialogue interface for limited domains of discourse the sentence interpretation as well as the sentence generation in SYROCO are briefly presented in the first part of this paper.
