Abstract

The importance of a good campus navigation system cannot be ignored as the users will vary from students, special guests, visitors and multi-lingual attendees. Providing a navigation and guidance system with a multi-lingual interface helps in personalizing the system according to the user’s preference for the language of interaction. [Pascal Neis, 2009] is an example of a multi-lingual routing application for navigation developed at the University of Bonn where optimal paths are generated with textual description in the user’s preferred language. Natural language generation (NLG) is the subfield of artificial intelligence and computational linguistics. It is concerned with the construction of computer systems that can produce understandable texts in human languages and form some underlying non-linguistic representation of information in order to meet specified communicative goals [McDonald D.D., 1987].
