Abstract

This abstract reports on our submission to the shallow track for the Generation Challenges 2011 Surface Realization Shared Task. This system is intended to be a minimal system in the sense that it uses (almost) no lexical, syntactic or semantic information other than that found in the training corpus itself. The system architecture was motivated by work done on FERGUS (Bangalore and Rambow, 2000). The system uses three information sources, each acquired from the training corpus: is a localized tree model capturing information from the dependency tree; a trigram language model capturing word order information for words in the same subtree; and a morphological dictionary. In the sections below we briefly present each of these models.
