title = "Towards the evaluation of referring expression generation",
abstract = "The Natural Language Generation community is currently engaged in discussion as to whether and how to introduce one or several shared evaluation tasks, as are found in other fields of Natural Language Processing. As one of the most welldefined subtasks in NLG, the generation of referring expressions looks like a strong candidate for piloting such shared tasks. Based on our earlier evaluation of a number of existing algorithms for the generation of referring expressions, we explore in this paper some problems that arise in designing an evaluation task in this field, and try to identify general considerations that need to be met in evaluating generation subtasks.",
