XIG: generating from interchange format using mixed representations

摘要

We present the C-STAR italian Generator (XIG), a system for generating Italian text from the interlingua content representation (Interchange Forma) adopted within the C-STAR II speech to speech translation project. The clonstraints of the application scenario led us to follow a Mixed Representions approach to text generation and to adopt for the sentence planner an architecture based on cascades of default rules.
