A Language Independent Generator

The DeConverter is a language independent generator that provides a framework for syntactic and morphological generation as well as co-occurrence-based word selection for natural collocation. It can deconvert UNL expressions into a variety of native languages, using a number of linguistic data such as Word Dictionary, Grammatical Rules and Co-occurrence Dictionary of each language.

The DeConverter transforms the sentence represented by a UNL expression – i.e., a set of binary relations –  into a directed hyper-graph structure called Node-net. The root node of a Node-net is called Entry Node and represents the main predicate of the sentence. The DeConverter applies generation rules to every node in the Node-net and generates the word list in the target language. In this process, the syntactic structure is determined by applying Syntactic Rules.  Morphemes are similarly generated by applying Morphological Rules.

The DeConverterfs generation ability is similar to that of a tuning machine. It is capable of generating all types of sentences, applicable to all languages. Co-occurrence Relations between words contribute to a better word selection. This means it is possible to generate more natural sentences by using Co-occurrence Relations.
