TL;DR
SimpleNLG, a realisation engine for English which aims to provide simple and robust interfaces to generate syntactic structures and linearise them, and is flexible in allowing the use of mixed representations.
Abstract
This paper describes SimpleNLG, a realisation engine for English which aims to provide simple and robust interfaces to generate syntactic structures and linearise them. The library is also flexible in allowing the use of mixed (canned and non-canned) representations.

The architecture of a Natural Language Generation system and its implications for national language generation in practice are described.
Natural Language EngineeringApplied morphological processing of English
347 Citations2001Guido Minnen, John M. Carroll +1 more
Two newly developed computational tools for morphological processing are described: a program for analysis of English inflectional morphology, and a morphological generator, automatically derived from the analyser, which are fast, being based on finite-state techniques, and robust, in that they are able to deal effectively with unknown words.

263 Citations2005Ehud Reiter, Somayajulu Sripada +3 more
An evaluation by forecast users suggested that they preferred SumTime-Mousam's texts to human-generated texts, in part because of better word choice; this may be the first time that an evaluation has shown that nlg texts are better than human-authored texts.
An architecture for data-to-text systems
221 Citations2007Ehud Reiter
An architecture for data-to-text systems, that is NLG systems which produce texts from non-linguistic input data, is presented, which essentially extends the architecture of Reiter and Dale (2000) to systems whose input is raw data instead of AI knowledge bases.
A fast and portable realizer for text generation systems
203 Citations1997Benoit Lavoie, Owen Rambow
A mixer block used in rotary drums to improve the efficiency of mixing, drying, cooling, heating, or calcining of solid materials such as gravel, stone, fluxes and the like to produce a more uniform product with minimal production of fines and dust is described.
Natural Language EngineeringEnabling technology for multilingual natural language generation: the <scp>KPML</scp> development environment
192 Citations1997John Bateman
KPML aims to provide generation projects with standardized, broad-coverage, reusable resources and a basic engine for using such resources for generation, based on a new, generic approach to multilinguality in resource description that extends significantly beyond previous approaches.
Forest-based statistical sentence generation
147 Citations2000Irene Langkilde
A new approach to statistical sentence generation is presented in which alternative phrases are represented as packed sets of trees, or forests, and then ranked statistically to choose the best one, and an efficient ranking algorithm is described.

A prototype is being developed which will generate a textual summary of 45 minutes of continuous physiological signals and discrete events, which brings together techniques from the different areas of signal analysis, medical reasoning, and natural language generation.
CCG chart realization from disjunctive inputs
32 Citations2006Michael White
A novel algorithm for efficiently generating paraphrases from disjunctive logical forms that makes use of packed representations similar to those initially proposed by Shemtov (1997), generalizing the approach in a more straightforward way than in the algorithm ultimately adopted therein.
YAG
19 Citations2000Susan McRoy, Songsak Channarukul +1 more
YAG (Yet Another Generator) is a real-time, general-purpose, template-based generation system that will enable interactive applications to adapt natural language output to the interactive context without requiring developers to write all possible output strings ahead of time or to embed extensive knowledge of the grammar of the target language in the application.
