{"product_id":"9781461551799","title":"Lexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Text Generation","description":"In knowledge-based natural language generation, issues of  formal knowledge representation meet with the linguistic problems of  choosing the most appropriate verbalization in a particular situation  of utterance. \u003cem\u003eLexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003eMultilingual Text Generation\u003c\/em\u003e presents a new approach to  systematically linking the realms of lexical semantics and knowledge  represented in a description logic. For language generation from such  abstract representations, lexicalization is taken as the central step:  when choosing words that cover the various parts of the content  representation, the principal decisions on conveying the intended  meaning are made. A preference mechanism is used to construct the  utterance that is best tailored to parameters representing the  context. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eLexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual  Text\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGeneration\u003c\/em\u003e develops the means for systematically  deriving a set of paraphrases from the same underlying representation  with the emphasis on events and verb meaning. Furthermore, the same  mapping mechanism is used to achieve multilingual generation: English  and German output are produced in parallel, on the basis of an  adequate division between language-neutral and language-specific  (lexical and grammatical) knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eLexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual  Text\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGeneration\u003c\/em\u003e provides detailed insights into designing the  representations and organizing the generation process. Readers with a  background in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, knowledge  representation, linguistics, or natural language processing will find  a model of language production that can be adapted to a variety of  purposes.","brand":"Springer-Verlag New York, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46603798446321,"sku":"9781461551799","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9781461551799_p0.jpg?v=1765406471","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461551799","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
