Some explanation and advice about regression to mean, which is a statistical phenomena that can impact NLG evaluations.
People who use corpora to build NLG systems need to understand what is in the corpora. The widely used Weathergov corpus, for example, probably contains computer-generated texts rather than human-written texts. So learning from it is essentially reverse-engineering a rule-based NLG system.
I am really dubious about evaluations based on BLEU and other metrics. I explain why, and also give advice on best practice for people who are committed to using metrics
Advice on how to evaluate an NLG system by getting people to use it in the real world, and then measuring how effective the system was.
I’ve just finished delivering a commercial training course, it was a very different (and in many ways better) experience than the academic teaching I’ve done for decades
Why isnt there more open-source NLG software, and what can be done to encourage more open-source NLG?
Advice on how to evaluate an NLG system by asking human subjects to rate the system, when they are using it in a real-world context.
My experiences in writing NLG pages for Wikipedia; mostly positive, but sometimes frustrating.
How do we test an NLG system, and ensure that it is robust, reliable, and meets its quality goals?
