TLDR
A general interpretation of semantics is suggested for the purpose of text generation as an interlevel between lexicogrammar and higher levels of organization and two approaches to the design of this interlevel are presented.Abstract:
This paper is a contribution towards the exploration of semantic interfaces in text generation systems. It suggests a general interpretation of semantics for the purpose of text generation as an interlevel between lexicogrammar (the resources of grammar and vocabulary) and higher levels of organization (knowledge base, user model, text planning, and so on). Two approaches to the design of this interlevel that have been implemented in generation systems are then presented -- chooser & inquiry semantics and situation-specific semantic systems. They are compared and contrasted to bring out their relative merits.read more

Data-Driven Conceptual Spaces : Creating Semantic Representations for Linguistic Descriptions of Numerical Data
TL;DR: A principled approach to automatically construct a conceptual space from a set of known observations wherein the quality dimensions and domains are not known a priori, while preserving the semantic interpretation that is needed to infer linguistic descriptions for interaction with humans.

Rhetorical structure theory and text analysis
TL;DR: Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST), the focus of this paper, is a way to account for the functional potential of text, its capacity to achieve the purposes of speakers and produce effects in hearers, and shows away to distinguish coherent texts from incoherent ones, and identifies consequences of text structure.
