Natural Language Generation for Aboriginal Languages

澳大利亚土著语言有一些有趣的特点，这使它们成为语言技术应用的一个挑战；到目前为止，还没有一种语言，不像加拿大的土著因纽特人和新西兰的毛利人。我们将对一种原住民语言进行大规模的计算语言调查，以创建数据到文本的自然语言生成系统。该系统将使用澳大利亚规则足球的数据来自动构建基于这些数据的文章。这项关于计算语言学的研究将通过让语言拥有者参与语言调查以及编写将鼓励识字和保持语言的文章，从而进一步惠及全国。

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.
