School Seminar
The semantic web promises to revolutionise the way that information is shared globally in a way perhaps as significantly as when the original world wide web was introduced. The semantic web is primarily about machines communicating with one another, and yet in the end it is always people who need to know and trust what is going on. Natural language generation is one important technique that could help to fill the gap between what the machines are doing and what the people need or want to know.
This talk briefly introduces the basic structure of the semantic web and considers whether this is perhaps the perfect application for NLG.
We consider some of the main issues involved in generating language from semantic web data and what approaches have been used. We also describe some ongoing projects at Aberdeen which incorporate NLG from semantic web data.
