Course Description

This course covers three topics that are usually taught in separate courses: the automatic construction of text starting from structured data, the automatic construction of summaries (not the full summarization system, just the text construction bit), and the text creation in the target language during machine translation.

Target Audience

Graduate students, advanced undergraduates.
