Generation under uncertainty
Oliver Lemon, Srini Janarthanam, Verena Rieser · 2010
We invite the research community to consider challenges for NLG which arise from uncertainty. NLG systems should be able to adapt to their audience and the generation environment in general, but often the important features for adaptation are not known precisely. We explore generation challenges which could employ simulated environments to study NLG which is adaptive under uncertainty, and suggest possible metrics for such tasks. It would be particularly interesting to explore how different planning approaches to NLG perform in challenges involving uncertainty in the generation environment. 1
