Call for papers
In conjunction with INLG 2017 in Santiago de Compostela, we are
organizing a half-day workshop on LiRA-NLG (Linguistic Resources for
Automatic Natural Language Generation) Workshop.
This workshop aims to bring together linguists who are interested in
developing large-coverage linguistic resources and researchers with an
interest in developing real-world NLG software. These two communities
have been working separately for many years : NLG researchers are
typically more focused on technical issues specific to text generation,
where good performance (e.g. recall and precision) is crucial, whereas
linguists tend to focus on problems related to the development of
exhaustive and precise resources that are mainly “neutral” vis-à-vis any
NLP application (e.g. parsing or generating sentences), using various
grammatical formalisms such as NooJ, TAG or HPSG.
However, recent progress in both fields is reducing many of these
differences, with large-coverage linguistic resources being more and
more used by robust NLP software. For instance, NLG researchers can now
use large dictionaries of multiword units and expressions, and several
linguistic experiments have shown the feasibility of using large
phrase-structure grammars (a priori used for text parsing) in
“generation” mode, to automatically produce paraphrases of sentences
that are described by grammars.
By encouraging members of both communities to discuss work in related
topics with each other, we hope to move towards better joint
understanding of the problems involved. This workshop focuses on the
following questions :
— How to develop “neutral” linguistic resources (dictionaries,
morphological, phrase-structure and transformational grammars) that
can be used both to parse and generate texts automatically.
— Is it possible to generate grammatical sentences by using linguistic
data alone, i.e. with no statistical methods to remove ambiguities ?
What are the limitations of rule-based systems, as opposed to
stochastic ones ?
Topics can relate to any aspect of NLG, such as :
— large-coverage linguistic resources
— lexicalization
— Machine-Translation
— NLG for real-world application
— paraphrase generation
— phraseology of specialized languages
— rule-based approaches to generation
— comparison between rule-based and statistical approaches to NLG —
surface realization — text-to-text generation and summarization —
transformational analysis and generation.
We encourage participants to submit papers at the general INLG2017
conference as well : https://eventos.citius.usc.es/inlg2017/index.
