Abstract
Natural language generation technology is disclosed that applies artificial intelligence to structured data to determine content for expression in natural language narratives that describe the structured data. A graph data structure is employed, where the graph data structure comprises a plurality of nodes. Each of a plurality of the nodes (1) represents a corresponding intent so that a plurality of different nodes represent different corresponding intents and (2) is associated with one or more links to one or more of the nodes to define relationships among the intents. A processor (1) traverses the graph data structure to determine which of the nodes to use for content to be expressed in the natural language narratives and (2) determines which of the nodes to use for providing follow-up information about the natural language narratives based on the links of the graph data structure so that the follow-up information is derived from nodes that are linked to the nodes used for the content to be expressed in the natural language narrative.
