One of the aims of Natural Language Processing is to facilitate
.the use of computers by allowing their users to communicate in
natural language. There are two important aspects to person-machine
communication: understanding and generating. While natural language
understanding has been a major focus of research, natural language
generation is a relatively new and increasingly active field of
research. This book presents an overview of the state of the art in
natural language generation, describing both new results and
directions for new research. The principal emphasis of natural
language generation is not only to facili tate the use of computers
but also to develop a computational theory of human language
ability. In doing so, it is a tool for extending, clarifying and
verifying theories that have been put forth in linguistics,
psychology and sociology about how people communicate. A natural
language generator will typically have access to a large body of
knowledge from which to select information to present to users as
well as numer of expressing it. Generating a text can thus be seen
as a problem of ous ways decision-making under multiple
constraints: constraints from the propositional knowledge at hand,
from the linguistic tools available, from the communicative goals
and intentions to be achieved, from the audience the text is aimed
at and from the situation and past discourse. Researchers in
generation try to identify the factors involved in this process and
determine how best to represent the factors and their
dependencies."
