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. |
What is Natural Language Generation?
Natural language generation (NLG) focuses on algorithms and models for producing texts in English or other natural languages. NLG systems generally produce summaries, explanations, descriptions, etc of non-linguistic data from databases, knowledge bases, sensors, and so forth. Good sources to learn about NLG include
- How do I Learn about NLG?
- Survey of the State of the Art in Natural Language Generation
- Wikipedia article on NLG
