Abstract

Data-to-text generation aims to generate natural language descriptions from non-linguistic data. Recent research on data-totext generation often uses a neural encoder-decoder architecture due to its simplicity to work across multiple domain. In this study, we aim to investigate two input encoding strategies: (1) numeral encoding as baseline, and (2) numeral as sequence-of-character tokens as proposed solution in financial data-to-text systems. An empirical study on the financial dataset validates our initial hypothesis that the character-based representation performs comparable results in content selection and diversity towards the generated text descriptions.
