ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation
 |
Welcome to the home page of the Association for Computational Linguistics Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation. SIGGEN [ˈsɪɡ.ʤɛn] is a special interest group of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL). It provides a forum for the discussion, dissemination and archiving of research topics and results in the field of text generation. |
Active topics of interest include:
- Discourse models, content planning.
- Syntactic realization: formalisms and models of grammars for sentence production.
- Architecture of generators.
- Lexical choice.
- Psychological modelling of discourse production.
- Pragmatic influences on lexical choice, syntax and content selection.
- Multilingual or multi-modal generation.
- Applications of generation technology (report generation, explanation for knowledge-based systems, automatic translation...).
- Learning methods.
- Evaluation of generation results.
Relevant aspects of the following areas relate to problems of natural language generation:
- Grammar theory
- Statistical methods
- Speech synthesis
- Psycholinguistics
- Neuroscience
- Philosophy
Upcoming Events
INLG 2019 will be in Tokyo, probably at the end of Oct or beginning of Nov (just before EMNLP). Follow @INLG2019 on Twitter for up-to-date information and announcements.
