| "text": "EPICURE (Dale 1989a (Dale , 1989b ) is a natural language generation system whose principal concern is the generation of referring expressions which pick out complex entities in connected discourse. In particular, the system generates natural language descriptions of cookery recipes. Given a top level goal, the program first decomposes that goal recursively to produce a plan consisting of operations at a level of detail commensurate with the assumed knowledge of the hearer. In order to describe the resulting plan, EPICURE then models its execution, so that the processes which produce referring expressions always have access to a representation of the ingredients in the state they are in at the time of description. This paper describes that part of the system responsible for the generation of subsequent referring expressions, i.e., references to entities which have already been mentioned in the discourse. The most notable features of the approach taken here are as follows: (a) the use of a sophisticated underlying ontology, to permit the representation of non-singular entities; (b) the use of two levels of semantic representation, in conjunction with a model of the discourse, to produce appropriate anaphoric referring expressions; (c) the use of a notion of discrimiaatory power, to determine what properties should be used in describing an entity; and (d) the use of a PATR-1ike unification grammar (see, for example, Karttunen (1986) ; Shieber (1986) ) to pro-duce surface linguistic strings from input semantic structures.", |

| "text": "don have taken into account a large number of contextual factors (see, for example, McDonald (1980:218-220) ). The approach taken here is relatively simple. EPICURE makes use of a discourse model which distinguishes two principal components, corresponding to Grosz's (1977) distinction between local focus and global focus. We call that part of the discourse model corresponding to the local focus cache memory: this contains the lexical, syntactic and semantic detail of the current utterance being generated, and the same detail for the previous utterance. Corresponding to global focus, the discourse model consists of a number of hierarchically-arranged focua spaces, mirroring the structure of the recipe being described. These focus spaces record the semantic content, but not the syntactic or lexlcal detail, of the remainder of the preceding discourse. In addition, we make use of a notion of discourse centre: this is intuitively similar to the notion of centering suggested by (]ross, Joshi and Weinstein (1983) , and corresponds to the focus of attention in the discourse. In recipes, we take the centre to be the result of the previous operation described. Thus, after an utterance like Soak the butterbeaa.s the centre is the entity described by the noun phrase the butterbeans. Subsequent references to the centre can be pronominalized, so that the next instruction in the recipe might then be Drain and dnse tltem. Following Grosz, Joshi and Weinstein (1983) , references to other entities present in cache memory may also be pronominalized, provided the centre is pronominalized. 1", |
