Description
This volume presents the proceedings of the Sixth
International Workshop on Automated Natural Language
Generation held in Castel Ivano, Trento, Italy, April 5-7,
1992. Besides an invited lecture by Nadia Magnenat-Thalmann,
a well-known researcher in computer animation, on creating
and visualizing speech and emotion, the volume includes the
17 thouroughly reviewed papers accepted for presentation,
selected out of the submissions to the Workshop, as well as
11 statements contributed to panels on multilinguality and
generation or extending language generation to multiple
media. The accepted papers by leading researchers from
Japan, North America and Europe fall in sections on
generator system architecture, issues in realisation,
issues in discourse structure, and beyond traditional
generation.
