Abstract

This document describes the surface realization solution submitted by UCM to the Surface Realization Challenge. The UCM submission operates over the shallow representation of the challenge input. This submission to the surface realization challenge relies on an old-fashioned surface realizer based on unification with a grammar. Because this surface realizer requires fully specified inputs, a complex conversion process is required from the challenge input to the data that needs to be provided to the realizer. Where the challenge input is underspecified, the conversion process must provide any information that is missing from the input.
