Notes:
In natural language generation (NLG), the overall generation task is traditionally divided into two separate phases: strategic generation and tactical generation.
Strategic generation is the process of deciding what information to include in the generated text, and is typically language-independent. This phase involves selecting the appropriate content and organizing it in a logical and coherent manner.
Tactical generation is the process of deciding how to express the selected content in natural language. This phase involves generating the actual wording of the text, including the choice of words and phrases, the syntax, and the style.
NLG systems typically use a combination of rule-based and machine learning approaches to perform these tasks. For example, a NLG system might use a set of rules to determine the appropriate content to include in the generated text, and then use machine learning techniques to generate the actual wording of the text.
