Conciseness through Aggregation in Text Generation

cmp-lg 2008-02-03 v1 Computation and Language

Abstract

Aggregating different pieces of similar information is necessary to generate concise and easy to understand reports in technical domains. This paper presents a general algorithm that combines similar messages in order to generate one or more coherent sentences for them. The process is not as trivial as might be expected. Problems encountered are briefly described.
