NLG  natural language generation, text generation (informally)

 

The goal of text generation    to make machines express in human language.

 

It is one of the most important yet challenging tasks in NLP.

 

Since 2014, various neural encoder-decoder models pioneered by Seq2Seq have been proposed to achieve the goal by learning to map input text to output text. However, the input text alone often provides limited knowledge to generate the desired output, so the performance of text generation is still far from satisfaction in many real-world scenarios. To address this issue, researchers have considered

 

knowledge-enhanced text generation    incorporate various forms of knowledge beyond the input text into the generation models

 

In this survey, we present a comprehensive review of the research on knowledge enhanced text generation over the past five years. The main content includes two parts:

  1. general methods and architectures for integrating knowledge into text generation;
  2. specific techniques and applications according to different forms of knowledge data.

This survey can have broad audiences, researchers and practitioners, in academia and industry.

Definitional question answering

answering questions of the type “Who is X” and “What is X.”

We use text triplets. We further choose relevant triplets based on a manually built list of terms that are found in definitions in general.
