Abstract

Text generation is an extremely valuable adjunct to expert system advisors: the advice becomes accessible to a wider audience. Examples of successful use of explanation and text generation facilities within an expert system include MYCIN’s translator [Buchanan 84] and ATTENDING’s use of PROSENET [Miller 84]. Expert system builders may often feel they cannot afford to develop their own text generation program. Research issues which are more central to their projects may take priority.
