A User's Guide to the TEXPLAN System
Michele Kubis, Colleen A. McAuliffe · 1991
Abstract : This report is a guide to the use of the TEXPLAN (Textural EXplanation PLANer) natural language generation system in its application to a knowledge based battle simulation system. TEXPLAN is a natural language text generator which composes single and multiparagraph texts and can be logically divided into two major components: a linguistic realization component which realizes an explanation as English text, and a test planner which plans the content of the explanation. The purpose of this report is to provide details of these two components, dissecting them into different sections, then describing the underlying functions which constitute each section.
