Generating Natural Language Aggregations Using a Propositional Representation of Sets
Susan Haller, Barbara Di Eugenio, Michael J. Trolio · 2002
We present a method for aggregating information from an internal, machine representation and building a text structure that allows us to express aggregations in natural language. Features of the knowledge representation system, a semantic network, allow us to produce an initial aggregation based on domain information and the competing aggregate structures. In the £nal stages of realization, the network representation allows us to use low-level (below the level of a clause) information to perform linguistic aggregation. The test bed for this work is an interactive tutoring system on home heating systems.
