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

ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation

Siggen logo small.png

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

Upcoming Events

Next INLG conference will be held jointly with SIGDIAL, September 11-15, 2023, in Prague: https://www.sigdial.org/2022/12/19/sigdial-x-inlg-2023-september-11-15-in-prague/ (Official conference website and further details are coming soon!)

In addition, SIGGEN is running a webinar series. We're looking for talks on anything of interest to SIGGEN/NLG community, including research, tutorials, and commercial projects. If you have an idea for a webinar, please send an email to siggen-board (ta) googlegroups (dot) com.
