Abstract
The neural boom that has sparked natural language processing (NLP) research throughout the last decade has similarly led to significant innovations in data-to-text generation (D2T). This survey offers a consolidated view into the neural D2T paradigm with a structured examination of the approaches, benchmark datasets, and evaluation protocols. This survey draws boundaries separating D2T from the rest of the natural language generation (NLG) landscape, encompassing an up-to-date synthesis of the literature, and highlighting the stages of technological adoption from within and outside the greater NLG umbrella. With this holistic view, we highlight promising avenues for D2T research that not only focus on the design of linguistically capable systems but also systems that exhibit fairness and accountability.
期刊介绍:
ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology is a scholarly journal that publishes the highest quality papers on intelligent systems, applicable algorithms and technology with a multi-disciplinary perspective. An intelligent system is one that uses artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to offer important services (e.g., as a component of a larger system) to allow integrated systems to perceive, reason, learn, and act intelligently in the real world.
ACM TIST is published quarterly (six issues a year). Each issue has 8-11 regular papers, with around 20 published journal pages or 10,000 words per paper. Additional references, proofs, graphs or detailed experiment results can be submitted as a separate appendix, while excessively lengthy papers will be rejected automatically. Authors can include online-only appendices for additional content of their published papers and are encouraged to share their code and/or data with other readers.
