  • Applied artificial intelligence technology for narrative generation based on analysis communication goals
    Patent number: 10699079
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines using “analyze” communication goals in a manner usable by an NLG narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired analysis communication goal such that the narratives will express various ideas that are deemed relevant to a given analysis communication goal.

  • Applied artificial intelligence technology for determining and mapping data requirements for narrative stories to support natural language generation (NLG) using composable communication goals
    Patent number: 10585983
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements and an ontology to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines in a manner usable by an NLG narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal.

  • Applied artificial intelligence technology for runtime computation of story outlines to support natural language generation (NLG)
    Patent number: 10572606
    Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology can be used in combination with composable communication goal statements and an ontology to facilitate a user's ability to quickly structure story outlines in a manner usable by an NLG narrative generation system without any need for the user to directly author computer code. This AI technology permits NLG systems to determine the appropriate content for inclusion in a narrative story about a data set in a manner that will satisfy a desired communication goal. The determined content can be arranged in a computed story outline that is created at runtime, and NLG can be performed on the computed story outline to generate the narrative story.

  • Method and system for configuring automatic generation of narratives from data
    Patent number: 10185477
    Abstract: The exemplary embodiments describe, inter alia, an apparatus comprising: a processor configured to (1) generate a plurality of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for interaction with a user to support configuration of a narrative story generator to automatically generate a narrative story based on input data, wherein at least one of the GUIs presents content blocks comprising a story outline in a hierarchical structure, (2) evaluate configuration elements of the narrative story generated using imported sample data, and (3) generate narrative stories based on the configuration of the narrative story generator and the input data.
