Automatic natural language generation applied to alternative and augmentative communication for online video content services using SimpleNLG for Spanish
We present our work to build the Spanish version of SimpleNLG by adapting it and creating new code to satisfy the Spanish linguistic requirements. Not only have we developed this version but also we have achieved a library that only needs the main words as input and it is able to conduct the generation process on its own. The adaptation of the library uses aLexiS, a complete and reliable lexicon with morphology that we created. On the other hand, our enhanced version uses Elsa created from the pictogram domain, which also contains syntactic and semantic information needed to conduct the generation process automatically. Both the adaptation and its enhanced version may be useful integrated in several applications as well as web applications, bringing them natural language generation functionalities. We provide a use case of the system focused on Augmentative and Alternative Communication and online video content services.Xunta de Galicia | Ref. GRC2014/046Xunta de Galicia | Ref.
