DFKI Workshop
on
Natural Language Generation
Wednesday, April 23, 1997
Bananensaal, Raum 1.01, DFKI Saarbrücken
On the Saarbrücken campus sites as well as at DFKI, many research
activities are pursued in the field of Natural Language Generation. We
feel that too little is known about the total of these activities, and
the saying that you have to go to international conferences in order to
get to know about your neighbor's work is true to some extent also in the
field of NLG.
This DFKI workshop taking place at DFKI in Saarbrücken aims to
bring together local researchers working on NLG and its related fields,
including multi-modal generation, at DFKI and other institutions at Saarbrücken
and Kaiserslautern.
A collection of the papers presented at the workshop is also available as a DFKI document.
