Systemic Text Generation as Problem Solving

Download or read book Systemic Text Generation as Problem Solving written by Terry Patten and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of a new approach to text generation that interprets systemic grammar as a computational representation. Patten demonstrates that systemic grammar can be easily and automatically translated into current AI-knowledge representations and efficiently processed by the same knowledge-based techniques currently exploited by expert systems. Thus, the fundamental methodological problem of interfacing specialized computational representations with equally specialized linguisticrepresentations can be resolved. The study provides a detailed discussion of the formal model proposed and of a substantial implementation including a relatively large systemic grammar. It represents a fundamental and productive contribution to the literature of text generation.
