== 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
* [https://ehudreiter.com/2018/01/16/learn-about-nlg/ How do I Learn about NLG?]
* [https://www.jair.org/index.php/jair/article/view/11173 Survey of the State of the Art in Natural Language Generation]
* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-language_generation Wikipedia article on NLG]
