SIGGEN

ACL Special Interest Group on Natural Language Generation

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.

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
