Generating Coherent Messages in Real-time Decision Support: Exploiting Discourse Theory for Discourse Practice

Abstract

This paper presents a message planner, TVaumaGEN, that draws on rhetorical structure and discourse theory to address the problem of producing integrated messages from individual critiques, each of which is designed to achieve its own communicative goal. TraumaGEN takes into account the purpose of the messages, the situation in which the messages will be received, and the social role of the system.
