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 executes chooser code, structurer code, and realizer code to generate the natural language narratives. The chooser code determines content for expression in a natural language narrative based on a traversal of the graph data structure based on defined criteria and a plurality of the links, wherein the traversal operates to choose a plurality of the nodes for evaluation with respect to the structured data to derive content for expression in that natural language narrative.
