Abstract

The RAGS proposals for generic specification of NLG systems includes a detailed account of data representation, but only an outline view of processing aspects. In this paper we introduce a modular processing architecture with a concrete implementation which aims to meet the RAGS goals of transparency and reusability. We illustrate the model with the RICHES system ¿ a generation system built from simple linguisticallymotivated modules.

Item Type:	Conference or Workshop Item (Paper)
Additional Information:	Originality: Describes an instantiation of a novel, generic architecture for natural language generation systems. Rigour: Architecture realised in a substantial end-to-end generation system in the domain of patient information leaflets for drugs. Significance: Makes explicit for the first time the various types of control and data flow that occur in generation systems; exemplifies types of reuse of processing modules. Impact: The paper and related research has changed the previous, incorrect perception that generation systems are standardly organised as pipelines. Outlet: Presented at the major annual international conference on natural language processing, with acceptance rate around 20%.
