Data-Driven Broad-Coverage Grammars for Opinionated Natural Language Generation (ONLG)
Opinionated Natural Language Generation (ONLG) is a new, challenging, task that aims to automatically generate human-like, subjective, responses to opinionated articles online. We present a data-driven architecture for ONLG that generates subjective responses triggered by users{'} agendas, consisting of topics and sentiments, and based on wide-coverage automatically-acquired generative grammars. We compare three types of grammatical representations that we design for ONLG, which interleave different layers of linguistic information and are induced from a new, enriched dataset we developed. Our evaluation shows that generation with Relational-Realizational (Tsarfaty and Sima{'}an, 2008) inspired grammar gets better language model scores than lexicalized grammars {`}a la Collins (2003), and that the latter gets better human-evaluation scores. We also show that conditioning the generation on topic models makes generated responses more relevant to the document content.

A Method for Learning Large-Scale Computational Construction Grammars from Semantically Annotated Corpora
We present a method for learning large-scale, broad-coverage construction grammars from corpora of language use. Starting from utterances annotated with constituency structure and semantic frames, the method facilitates …
Entertaining and Opinionated but Too Controlling: A Large-Scale User Study of an Open Domain Alexa Prize System
Conversational systems typically focus on functional tasks such as scheduling appointments or creating todo lists. Instead we design and evaluate SlugBot (SB), one of 8 semifinalists in the 2018 AlexaPrize, whose goal is…
SchedulingTopic coverageTractable Lexical-Functional Grammar
The formalism for Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) was introduced in the 1980s as one of the first constraint-based grammatical formalisms for natural language. It has led to substantial contributions to the linguistic l…

Testing a Minimalist Grammar Parser on Italian Relative Clause Asymmetries
Stabler{'}s (2013) top-down parser for Minimalist grammars has been used to account for off-line processing preferences across a variety of seemingly unrelated phenomena cross-linguistically, via complexity metrics measu…
