	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. Frequently co-occurring keywords include: text generation, large language models (LLMs), chatbots.
