Abstract Details

2016, Master of Sciences, Case Western Reserve University, EECS - Computer and Information Sciences.
How can we design a system to efficiently generate realistic natural language text, such as in news articles from the Wall Street Journal? In this work, we make progress towards this question in three ways. First, we build a semantically-annotated compositional grammar with wide coverage of English, providing the building blocks for semantically directed language generation. Secondly, we build upon an existing sentence generation system, STRUCT, identifying computational bottlenecks. We design, implement, and evaluate algorithms that allow STRUCT to efficiently generate natural language sentences in real-world domains which have large grammars, worlds, and communicative goals. Finally, we build a machine learning discourse planner to split up and arrange a large semantic information set into sentence-level communicative goals which could be passed to a sentence generation system. In pushing forward these three areas, our work provides the groundwork for scalable natural language generation.
