The dialog manager of a spoken dialog system often per- forms domain dependent functions as well as general dialog tasks. It is possible to separate the domain specific knowledge from knowledge about language using techniques from natural language generation. However a natural language generator of- ten has to be tuned for particular applications. In this work, we describe a new
SPLAT: A sentence-plan authoring tool
1996
SPLAT (Sentence Plan Language Authoring Tool) is an authoring tool intended to facilitate the creation of sentence-plan specifications for the Penman natural language generation system. SPLAT uses an examplebased approach in the form of sentence.plan templates to aid the user in creating and maintaining sentence plans. SPLAT also contains a sentence bank, a user-extensible collection of sentence plans annotated in various ways. The sentence bank can be searched for candidate plans that can then be used in the creation of new sentence plans specific to the domain of interest. SPLAT's graphical environment provides additional support to the user in the form of menu-driven access to Penman's linguistic resources and management of partially built sentence plans. 1 I n t r o d u c t i o n As natural language generation systems become more complex and sophisticated, the mode of input to these systems is becoming correspondingly more difficult to specify and manage.
