Refining Sowa's conceptual graph theory for text generation
Daniel C. Côté, Bernard Moulin · 1990
In project GENTEXT we aim at developing a system which will be able to generate texts in the French language, starting from knowledge structures expressed in the form of extended conceptual graphs. We had to extend the conceptual graph model mainly because in Sowa's approach temporal knowledge is not specified in a uniform way, and, monadic relations (i.e. PAST, FUTR) are not precise enough for expressing verb tenses in roman languages such as French, Spanish or Italian.
