There are various techniques to generate texts. Template based generators use templates, which are a mix of static content (plain text) and dynamic content. Think of PHP etc.

In template-based system, most of the time you don’t really care about the exact structure of the text (subject, verb, etc.). You don’t need to be a linguist to use them: you only need a quite basic understanding of the output language grammar.

RosaeNLG is now a LF AI & Data project. The original author is Ludan Stoecklé, who can be contacted at ludan [dot] stoeckle [at] rosaenlg [dot] org
