The 4th International Natural Language Generation Conference (the Biennial Meeting of the Special Interest Group in Natural Language Generation – SIGGEN) will be held July 15 to 16, 2006 in Sydney, Australia.

INLG is the leading international conference on research into natural language generation. It has been held at Brockenhurst (UK) in 2004, in Harriman (NY, USA) in 2002, and in Mitzpe Ramon (Israel) in 2000. Before 2000, INLGs were International Workshops, running every other year since 1980.
INLG provides a forum for the discussion, dissemination and archiving of research topics and results in the field of text generation.

INLG invites substantial, original, and unpublished submissions on all topics related to natural language generation. Active topics of interest include:

  • Discourse Models, Content Planning and Lexical and Syntactic Realization;
  • Architecture of generators;
  • Psychological modelling of discourse production and pragmatic influences on generation;
  • Multilingual generation;
  • Generation and summarization;
  • Multimedia or Multimodal Generation;
  • Applications of generation technology; and,
  • Evaluation of generation results.

INLG will be held this year as a COLING/ACL 2006 workshop to take advantage of having a large part of the Natural Language Processing community in Sydney, and attract both NLG specialists and researchers who may not think of themselves as part of the NLG community (e.g., researchers in summarisation and question/answering, or dialogue systems).
