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. </h4>

|}

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
