Evaluating Natural Language Generation Tasks for Grammaticality, Faithfulness and Diversity
Natural language generation (NLG) plays a vital role in many applications. Evaluating the quality of generated text is crucial for ensuring the effectiveness and user satisfaction of NLG systems. With the popularisation of deep learning in recent years, many models have been reported to achieve …

Text Generation and Evaluation for Human-Machine Collaborative Writing
Natural language generation (NLG) models' ability to generate long, fluent texts has enabled progress across many NLG subfields and increased the types of contributions models can make to human-machine collaborative writing tasks. However, the improved quality of generated text also poses …

Recurrent Neural Network Language Generation for Dialogue Systems
… from machines. Natural language generation (NLG) is a critical component of spoken dialogue and it has a significant impact on usability and perceived quality. Many commonly used NLG systems employ rules and heuristics, which tend to generate inflexible and stylised responses without the …

Ontology verbalization in agglutinating Bantu languages: a study of Runyankore and its generalizability
Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems have been developed to generate text in multiple domains, including personalized patient information. However, their application is limited in Africa because they generate text in English, yet indigenous languages are still predominantly spoken throughout …

Through Smoke and Mirrors of the Post-Truth Era: Knowledge-Driven Generation as Algorithmic Resistance to Misinformation
… but necessary. Natural Language Generation (NLG) represents a viable solution, enabling the automatic production of verdicts: knowledge-grounded textual responses that explain the veracity of a claim. This thesis investigates how knowledge-driven generative approaches can automate verdict …

Data to information to text summaries of financial data
… is possible through Natural Language Generation (NLG). The field of auditing has not previously been applied to this pipeline. This research looks at the auditing of Investment Fund Management, of which a specific procedure is the comparison of two time series (one of the fund being tested and …

Natural Language Understanding and Generation for Task-Oriented Dialogue
… a process known as Natural Language Generation (NLG). A tree-based NLG model is proposed and shown to be more easily adapted to unseen domains in comparison to other models. This desirable property arises due to the fact that modelling semantic structure facilitates knowledge sharing between …

Foundations for reusable and maintainable surface realisers for isiXhosa and isiZulu
Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems are used to generate text in order to reduce manual effort. Most existing systems are built to support European languages with simple and/or well-documented grammars. IsiZulu and isiXhosa, two of the largest South African languages by first language …

Uncertainty Estimation on Natural Language Processing
… (NLU) and natural language generation (NLG, such as text summarization). Among the NLU tasks, the understanding could be on two views, global-view (e.g. text classification at document level) and local-view (e.g. natural language inference at sentence level and named entity recognition …

Natural counterfactual explanations with causal awareness and actionable recourse for black-box models.
… with templatebased natural language generation (NLG) to produce CFs that are both feasible and clearly articulated. Second, to ensure CFs are not only actionable but also reflect real-world causal mechanisms, the PICACHU approach was developed. This method integrates causal discovery (learning …

Grammars for generating isiXhosa and isiZulu weather bulletin verbs
… the use of natural language generation (NLG) technologies to streamline the production of weather forecasts. Their approach would be of great benefit in South Africa because there is no fast and large scale producer, automated or otherwise, of textual weather summaries for Nguni …

Computational geometry through the information lens
… For example, Willard asked in SODA'92 for a o(nlg n) algorithm for Voronoi diagrams. Despite growing interest in the problem, it was not successfully solved until this thesis. Formally, let w be the number of bits in a computer word, and consider n points with O(w)-bit rational coordinates. …

Shared Context through Multi-Level Attention Transformers for Text Classification
… example, BERT has 340 million parameters, Turing NLG is 17billion parameters, and GPT-3 is about 175 billion parameters. Understanding their implications requires the immense computational ability to process the text corpus during both training and inferences. This thesis proposes a novel deep …

Do you trust a robot journalist? The perceived credibility of AI generated articles in Germany
… (AI) and natural language generation (NLG), not only has news production changed fundamentally, but so has the assessment of the credibility of texts. This master's thesis examines how German readers evaluate the credibility of AI-generated news articles. This thesis used in-depth …

Multimodal generative models for storytelling
… data [34]. Natural language generation (NLG) for storytelling is especially challenging because it requires the generated text to follow an overall theme while remaining creative and diverse to engage the reader [26]. Competitive story generation models still suffer from repetition [19], …

Enhancing Retrieval Augmented Generation Through Robust Information Retrieval
… (NLP), specifically Natural Language Generation (NLG). Existing literature tends to overemphasize elaborate retrieval strategies that involve multiple LLM calls, but fail to detail what algorithm and configurations, constituted the naïve approach that it was benchmarked against. We compare …

A TALE OF TWO NEUREXINS: NRX-1 AND NLR-1 FACILITATE FUNCTION OF MONOAMINE CIRCUITS AND FORAGING BEHAVIORS
… with an epistatic genetic interaction with nlg-1/neuroligin, a canonical binding partner of neurexins. I also find that nlr-1 controls responses to food and food deprivation by acting in different populations of neurons to promote or inhibit foraging activity, with nlr-1 acting in …

How, when, and where: fate selection in regenerative planarians
… spatial cell-type mapping. We identify the gene nlg-7 as a candidate regulator of the migratory targeting that spatially heterogenous neoblasts progenitors must undergo to maintain and regenerate tissues, given their heterogenous fate specification pattern. These results indicate that fate …
