Applied artificial intelligence technology for natural language generation using a story graph and different structurers

Natural language generation technology is disclosed that applies artificial intelligence to structured data to determine content for expression in natural language narratives that describe the structured data. A story graph is employed, where the story graph comprises a plurality of items of content to be expressed in a natural language narrative. A processor executes code corresponding to any of a plurality of structurers that organize the items of content into different story outlines from which the natural language narratives are generated, wherein the different structurers comprise different operating rules and/or parameters that implement different strategies for organizing the items of content into the story outlines.
