Natural language generation as neural sequence learning and beyondZhang, Xingxing January 2017 (has links)
Natural Language Generation (NLG) is the task of generating natural language (e.g., English sentences) from machine readable input. In the past few years, deep neural networks have received great attention from the natural language processing community due to impressive performance across different tasks. This thesis addresses NLG problems with deep neural networks from two different modeling views. Under the first view, natural language sentences are modelled as sequences of words, which greatly simplifies their representation and allows us to apply classic sequence modelling neural networks (i.e., recurrent neural networks) to various NLG tasks. Under the second view, natural language sentences are modelled as dependency trees, which are more expressive and allow to capture linguistic generalisations leading to neural models which operate on tree structures. Specifically, this thesis develops several novel neural models for natural language generation. Contrary to many existing models which aim to generate a single sentence, we propose a novel hierarchical recurrent neural network architecture to represent and generate multiple sentences. Beyond the hierarchical recurrent structure, we also propose a means to model context dynamically during generation. We apply this model to the task of Chinese poetry generation and show that it outperforms competitive poetry generation systems. Neural based natural language generation models usually work well when there is a lot of training data. When the training data is not sufficient, prior knowledge for the task at hand becomes very important. To this end, we propose a deep reinforcement learning framework to inject prior knowledge into neural based NLG models and apply it to sentence simplification. Experimental results show promising performance using our reinforcement learning framework. Both poetry generation and sentence simplification are tackled with models following the sequence learning view, where sentences are treated as word sequences. In this thesis, we also explore how to generate natural language sentences as tree structures. We propose a neural model, which combines the advantages of syntactic structure and recurrent neural networks. More concretely, our model defines the probability of a sentence by estimating the generation probability of its dependency tree. At each time step, a node is generated based on the representation of the generated subtree. We show experimentally that this model achieves good performance in language modeling and can also generate dependency trees.

A Methodology of SSA&D Modeling for Embedded SystemsHsu, Wen-cheng 22 July 2010 (has links)
Structured technique is the traditional and the popular systems analysis and design language. With the rapid progress and development of information technology, embedded systems have penetrated into most of the equipments which we used daily. Over the past few years a considerable effort has been made in modeling the platform independent model (PIM) for business information systems. However, the detailed guideline for modeling the PIM of embedded systems is lacking.
This study proposed a PIM modeling methodology with structured technique for embedded systems. The structured modeling process is consisted of three parts: requirement modeling, process modeling and module modeling. For each part, its modeling tool, modeling processes and rules are provided. The research methodology is articulated using the design science research methodology. A usability evaluation is performed to demonstrate its applicability with a real-world embedded system case. The evaluation results indicated that with this proposed method, the system developer can easily and effectively analyze and design the embedded systems with structured technique.
