The general architecture of generation in ACORD
Dieter Kohl, Agnès Plainfossé, Claire Gardent · 1990
This paper describes the general architecture of generation in the ACORD project. The central module of this architecture is a planning component, which allows to plan single sentences as an answer to a KB query. The planner works for three different languages (English, French and German) and for sentence generators based on two different grammar formalisms (UCG for English and French, LFG for German) independent of the particular grammar or grammar formalism. It uses several knowledge sources of the ACORD system to make its decisions. The output of the planner is used for the language specific generators as well as for the update of information needed for pronoun resolution.
