Abstract
A method for generating text using a computer system. The method includes selecting a model for generating a text that is based on a decision tree with nodes having one buckets or elements that include a conditional element and a sentence element or a pointer to a child node. The method includes processing a set of raw data selected for the particular model and then determining values of model variables. Evaluation of the model is performed to identify a set of the sentence elements to include in the text. The evaluating includes processing the conditional element of the buckets and when the conditional element is satisfied including the bucket's sentence element in the set of identified sentence elements. The method continues with combining the identified sentence elements to generate the text. The combining is completed based on concatenation rules provided in or linked to each node.
