Lee-Krahmer-Wubben Data-To-Text Generation System

A Lee-Krahmer-Wubben (LKW) Data-To-Text Generation System is a Data-to-Text Generation System that can solve a Lee-Krahmer-Wubben Data-To-Text Generation Task by implementing Lee-Krahmer-Wubben Data-To-Text Generation Algorithms.

• Context:
  • It was developed by Lee et al. (2018).
  • GitHub Repository: https://github.com/TallChris91/Automated-Template-Learning
  • System's Architecture:
    • It consists of two data-to-text generation systems: a direct data-to-text generation system + a templatization-based data-to-text generation system.
  • Training and ML Tools:
    • SR models were trained using a cosine similarity score method (Sec 3.2.1. Lee et al., 2018).
    • MOSES toolkit (Koehn et al., 2007) for training the SMT models,
    • Bayesian Optimization (Snoek et al., 2012) for tuning SMT+ NMT parameters for each corpus.
    • OpenNMT-py toolkit (Klein et al.2017) for training the NMT models.
    • Pre-trained word embeddings for boosting performance of smaller corpora (Qi et al., 2018).
• Example(s):
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • CJS Neural Narrative Text Generation System,
  • GSGAN System,
  • LeakGAN System.
  • MaliGAN System,
  • MaskGAN System,
  • RankGAN System,
  • SeqGAN System,
  • TextGAN System,
  • Texygen System.

  • QUOTE: The current work investigated differences in output quality for data-to-text generation using ’direct’ data-to-text conversion and extended models (see figure 1). For this extended model, the input representation and the text examples in the train and development set were ’templatized’.(...)
