Abstract

Recent research in Augmented and Alternative Communication (AAC) has begun to make use of Natural Language Generation (NLG) techniques. This creates an opportunity for constructing stories from sensor data, akin to existing work in life-logging. This paper examines the potential of using NLG to merge the AAC and life-logging domains. It proposes a four stage hierarchy that categorises levels of complexity of output text. It formulates a key subproblem of clustering sensor data into narrative events and describes three potential approaches for resolving this subproblem.
