Multi-Lingual Text Generation and the Meaning-Text Theory
Richard I. Kittredge, Lidija Iordanskaja, Alain Polguère · 2005
We describe multi-lingual text generation as an alternative to automatic translation in specified technical sublanguages, illustrating the notion with the implemented RAREAS-2 system for synthesizing marine weather forecasts in English and French. We then review the Meaning-Text Theory (MTT) of Mel'cuk et al. as we have applied it to text generation in the GOSSIP system for producing English reports about computer operating systems. The experience gained from these two systems suggests possible approaches to multi-lingual generation using MTT.
