Mapping knowledge to language with LOOM
Manfred Stede, Dietmar RSsner, Faw Ulm · 1994
In language generation, one of the central tasks is to map a deep representation of some kind to lexical units, from which a grammatical utterance can be produced. Unless a strict one-to-one relationship between concepts and words is assumed, which, we argue, is too simplistic for the general case, some sort of structure-mapping process is required for accomplishing this step. We investigate the mechanisms that one particular knowledge representation language of the KL-ONE family has to offer for this purpose, and compare their relative merits.
