Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that are configured to be embodied as a configurable microplanner. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises accessing a document plan containing one or more messages. The method of this embodiment may also include generating a text specification containing one or more phrase specifications that correspond to the one or more messages in the document plan. The method of this embodiment may also include applying a set of lexicalization rules to each of the one or more messages to populate the one or more phrase specifications. In some example embodiments, the set of lexicalization rules are specified using a microplanning rule specification language that is configured to hide linguistic complexities from a user. In some example embodiments, genre parameters may also be used to specify constraints that provide default behaviors for the realization process.
