ABSTRACT

To establish the component techniques of the text generation for a natural
language interface of FGCS, we have developed and evaluated an experimental
system on the parallel inference machine.

This experimental system generates Japanese text that justifies a given goal
according to the belief contents of the system.

KEY FEATURES

    

  1. Belief content consists of facts, rules and judgments for the state of affairs.
Exchanging the contents of a belief database enables the system to make
arguments in various domains.


  2. This system can generate not only direct grounds, but also refutations
for the expected opposing arguments, together with examples that are
indispensable to persuasive argument.


  3. By varying the argument strategies and criteria for sentence structure,
we perform the text generation experiment and conduct research into the
objective criteria for "natural" text.
