Generation of informative texts with style
Stephan M. Kerpedjiev · 1992
An approach to the computational treatment of style is presented in the case of generation of informative texts. We regard the style mostly as a means of controlled selection of alternatives faced at each level of text generation. The generation technique, as well as the style specification, are considered at four levels --- content production, discourse generation, surface structure development, and lexical choice. A style is specified by the frequency of occurrence of certain features examined through observation of particular texts. The algorithm for text generation ensures efficient treatment of the style requirements.
