Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Hastie, H., & Lemon, O. (2014, April). Finding middle ground? Multi-objective Natural Language Generation from time-series data. Presented at Proceedings of the 14th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics, volume 2: Short Papers, Gothenburg, Sweden

A Natural Language Generation (NLG) system is able to generate text from nonlinguistic data, ideally personalising the content to a user’s specific needs. In some cases, however, there are multiple stakeholders with their own individual goals, needs... Read More about Finding middle ground?
