TL;DR
It is argued that the current, predominantly task-oriented, approach to modularizing text generation, while plausible and useful conceptually, set up spurious conceptual and operational constraints.
Abstract
These data suggest that antisense suppression of MAdCAM-1 is of equivalent effectiveness to that of anti-MAdCAM-1 or anti-alpha4 integrin antibody in previous reports and could be a new therapy for IBD.

Natural Language GenerationIPF: an incremental parallel formulator
127 Citations1990Koenraad Smedt
A computer simulation model of the human speaker is presented which generates sentences in a piecemeal way and the module responsible for Grammatical Encoding (the tactical component) is discussed in detail.
Applied text generation

This paper will present the system and show how these design objectives led to particular design decisions, and address the problem of portability.

47 Citations1997Michael Elhadad, Jacques Robin +1 more
This paper presents a general approach to lexical choice that can handle multiple, interacting constraints, and focuses on the problem of floating constraints, semantic or pragmatic constraints that float, appearing at a variety of different syntactic ranks, often merged with other semantic constraints.

It is claimed that incremental processing is a central design principle for developing flexible and efficient generators for speech output and an extension of Tree Adjoining Grammar is introduced as an adequate representation formalism for incremental syntactic generation.

It is argued that a blackboard-type architecture with agenda-style control is more appropriate for this task than a sequential control architecture with backtracking.

It is argued that the place of LRs in the computational process is a complex issue and large-scope LRs are justified because they facilitate the unavoidable process of large-scale semi-automatic lexical acquisition.
Lecture notes in computer scienceIntegrating text planning and linguistic choice by annotating linguistic structures
24 Citations1992Robert Rubinoff
The IGEN generator implements a solution to this dilemma by having the linguistic component provide feedback to the planner, in the form of annotations that describe the effects and consequences of particular linguistic decisions.
Paraphrasing and Aggregating Argumentative Texts Using Text Structure
21 Citations1996Xiaorong Huang, Armin Fiedler
It is argued in this paper that sophisticated mi-croplanning techniques are required even formathematical proofs, in contrast to the belief that mathematical texts are only schematic and mechanical.
Using a textual representational level component in the context of discourse or dialogue generation
15 Citations1994Franck Panaget
A natural language generation system is typically constituted by two main components: a content planning component (e.g., text planner or dialogue act planner) and a linguistic realization component that acts as an intermediary between the pragmatico-semantic level and the purely syntactic level.

Hunter-Gatherer: three search techniques integrated for natural language semantics
14 Citations1996Stephen Beale, Sergei Nirenburg +1 more
This work integrates three related AI search techniques - constraint satisfaction, branch-and-bound and solution synthesis - and applies the result to semantic processing in natural language (NL) and illustrates how the use of the technique in a large-scale MT project allowed a drastic reduction in search space.
