(42) Experimental System for Argument Text Generation: Dulcinea

	Machine:     Multi-PSI or pseudo-PIM/m
	Environment: PIMOS
	Language:    KL1
	Source Code: 2MB
	Documents:   Manual (English/Japanese)


Overview

Dulcinea generates Japanese text that justifies a given goal.

Configuration

The system consists of following four modules.

Semantic Contents Generator:
This module creates an Argument Graph which represents the semantic content of arguments.
FTS Generator:
This module creates an FTS(Functional Text Structure) from a given argument graph.
Text Structure Generator:
This module adds order and connection information to the FTS.
Realizer:
Tense, aspect and mood are fixed in this module.

Function

  1. Beliefs consist of facts,rules and judgments for the state of affairs. The system makes arguments in various domains by exchanging the contents of a belief database.
  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,you can perform the text generation experiment and conduct research into the objective criteria for natural text.
