Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for using linguistically-aware variables in computer-generated text, the method comprising: receiving a sentence at a computer system, wherein the sentence comprises two or more words; analyzing the sentence to identify a first variable, wherein the first variable is a place-holder for a first word; receiving the first word; automatically determining a gender of the first word; analyzing, by a computer, the sentence to identify a first dependent word that is dependent on the first word, wherein a spelling of the first dependent word is dependent on the gender of the first word; replacing the first variable in the sentence with the first word; determining the spelling of the first dependent word that corresponds to the gender of the first word, and if necessary, modifying the spelling of the first dependent word in the sentence to match the gender of the first word; and outputting the sentence.
