Blogging birds: Generating narratives about reintroduced species to promote public engagement

Year: 2012

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper proposes the use of NLG to enhance public engagement during the course of species reintroductions.We examine whether ecological insights can be effectively communicated through blogs about satellite-tagged individuals, and whether such blogs can help create a positive perception of the species in readers' minds, a requirement for successful reintroduction.We then discuss the implications for NLG systems that generate blogs from satellite-tag data.
