Abstract

We describe our ongoing work on "Polibox", a web-based text generator producing adaptive hypertext from a product database, currently one of computational linguistics text-books. When given a specification of a desired ideal book, Polibox selects suitable candidates from the database, and presents them one-by-one to the user. Books are described, compared to one another, and, under the right circumstances, actively recommended. This project note concentrates on the stages of content selection, text planning and sentence planning.
