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
