Abstract

In order to satisfy the informational demands of different users, generated texts should be tailored to the respective user types. Document planning may benefit from a formal modeling of the participating agents (the generation system and the user) within the framework of game theory. We show how rhetorical structures map to speaker strategies, and how a user model may be represented as a domain theory, containing different hypotheses for the listener strategies. Based on this, we present an algorithm which simultaneously performs the tasks of message selection and document structuring.
