Generating and Evaluating Landmark-Based Navigation Instructions in Virtual Environments (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cercas Curry, A., Gkatzia, D., & Rieser, V. (2015, September). Generating and Evaluating Landmark-Based Navigation Instructions in Virtual Environments. Presented at 15th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation (ENLG 2015), University of Brighton, Brighton, UK

Referring to landmarks has been identified to lead to improved navigation instructions. However, a previous corpus study suggests that human “wizards” also choose to refer to street names and generate user-centric instructions. In this paper, we cond...

Comparing Multi-label Classification with Reinforcement Learning for Summarisation of Time-series Data (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Hastie, H., & Lemon, O. (2014, June). Comparing Multi-label Classification with Reinforcement Learning for Summarisation of Time-series Data. Presented at The 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Baltimore

We present a novel approach for automatic report generation from time-series data, in the context of student feedback generation. Our proposed methodology treats content selection as a multi-label (ML) classification problem, which takes as input ti...
