Mapping communicative goals into conceptual tasks to generate graphics in discourse
Stephan M. Kerpedjiev, Steven F. Roth · 2000
We address the problem of realizing communicative plans in graphics. Our approach calls for mapping communicative goals to conceptual tasks and then using task-based graphic design for selecting graphical techniques. In this paper, we present the mapping rules in several dimensions: data aggregation and selection, task synthesis, and task aggregation. Those rules have been incorporated in AutoBrief, a research system for multimedia explanation.
