Ontology mapping and adaptation systems and methods

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor configured to perform:
• receiving information indicating a target vocabulary for use in generating natural language text, the target vocabulary comprising multiple terms representing respective multiple variables;
• accessing an ontology of entities used for generating natural language text, wherein each of at least some of the entities in the ontology of entities is associated with one or more respective linguistic attributes;
• mapping at least some of the multiple terms to entities in the ontology, the mapping comprising:
• identifying information indicative of correspondences between one or more of the at least some of the multiple terms and one or more respective entities in the ontology;
• and
• identifying one or more modifications to make to the ontology to obtain a modified ontology to be used for generating natural language text using the target vocabulary;
• modifying the ontology, using the one or more modifications, to obtain a modified ontology;
• receiving data indicating values for at least some of the multiple variables;
• and
• generating natural language text using the data and information in the modified ontology associated with the at least some of the multiple variables.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method for generating natural language text, the method comprising:

• receiving information indicating a target vocabulary for use in generating natural language text, the target vocabulary comprising multiple terms representing respective multiple variables;
• accessing an ontology of entities used for generating natural language text, wherein each of at least some of the entities in the ontology of entities is associated with one or more respective linguistic attributes;
• mapping at least some of the multiple terms to entities in the ontology, the mapping comprising:
• identifying information indicative of correspondences between one or more of the at least some of the multiple terms and one or more respective entities in the ontology;
• and
• identifying one or more modifications to make to the ontology to obtain a modified ontology to be used for generating natural language text using the target vocabulary;
• modifying the ontology, using the one or more modifications, to obtain a modified ontology;
• receiving data indicating values for at least some of the multiple variables;
• and
• generating natural language text using the data and information in the modified ontology associated with the at least some of the multiple variables.
