(On-Line Analytical Processing) and Data

We present a new approach to paratactic content aggregation in the context of generating hypertext summaries of OLAP and data mining discoveries. Two key propertiesmakethisapproachinnovativeand interesting: (1) it encapsulates aggregation insidethesentenceplanningcomponent, and (2) it relies on a domain independent algorithm working on a data structure that abstracts from lexical and syntactic knowledge. 1 Research context: hypertext executive summary generation for intelligentdecision-support In this paper, we present a new approach to content aggregation in Natural Nanguage Generation (NLG). This approach has been developed for the NLG system HYSSOP (HYpertext Summary System of On-line analyticalProcessing) whichsummarizes OLA
