Conclusion

In this chapter we have presented basic strategies for performing self-monitoring and revision. We presented a non-incremental and an incremental version. The non-incremental version and the paraphrasing algorithm is a generalization of [Neumann and van Noord1992] and [Neumann and van Noord1994]. The incremental monitoring algorithm is novel. This is not surprisingly, because the incremental monitoring method to be practical must be built on top of a uniform method that supports efficient integration of parsing and generation. The item sharing approach and the uniform tabular algorithm are in particular suited to obtain this behaviour. Indeed, one of the motivations behind the development of the uniform tabular algorithm has been for interleaving parsing and generation, i.e, it has been practically motivated (which is not that bad; good ideas often come from practical needs).
