GIVE-2.5: NLG Challenge on Generating Instructions in Virtual 
Environments

Please take this last opportunity to help us evaluate NLG systems by 
going on a virtual treasure hunt.

Several software improvements have been made, so please try again if 
you had problems before!

Part of Generation Challenges 2011
Endorsed by SIGGEN and SIGSEM

Dear colleagues,

For the third time now, the GIVE Challenge has invited research teams
to develop systems that generate natural-language instructions to
assist users in solving a puzzle in a virtual 3D environment. This
year teams of undergraduate students, graduate students, and
researchers from six universities in five countries have built eight
systems, and you can now play with these systems over the Internet.

If you go to

http://www.give-challenge.org

one of the systems will be assigned to you. Follow the instructions it
produces for you, and see whether you can find the trophy. It
shouldn't take more than 10 minutes and you are contributing valuable
evaluation data. Play as many games as you like: there are 3 new 
game worlds to explore.

If you could help us spread this invitation by passing it on to your
colleagues (not necessarily NLP experts), friends, and students, we
would be most grateful.

You can find more information about the GIVE Challenge at

Enjoy,
