Australian Aboriginal languages have a number of interesting characteristics that make them a challenge for language technology applications; as yet, there are none, unlike for the indigenous Inuit peoples of Canada and Maori of New Zealand. We will carry out a large-scale computational linguistic investigation of an Aboriginal language to create a data-to-text natural language generation system. The system will use data from Australian Rules Football to automatically construct articles based on the data. This study of computational linguistics will have further national benefits through engagement of the owners of the language in the language survey, as well as generating articles that will encourage literacy and language maintenance.

澳大利亚土著语言有许多有趣的特点，使它们成为语言技术应用的挑战；到目前为止，还没有，不像加拿大的因纽特土著和新西兰的毛利人。我们将对一种土著语言进行大规模的计算语言学研究，以创建一个数据到文本的自然语言生成系统。该系统将使用澳式足球规则的数据，根据这些数据自动构建文章。计算语言学的研究将通过语言所有者参与语言调查，以及生成鼓励识字和语言维护的文章，进一步为国家带来好处。
