has a consensus nl generation architecture appeared and is it psycholinguistically plausible

This is largely due to the fact that pipelined systems can not perform general search over a decision space that includes decisions made in more than one module . Despite these arguments , most applied NLG systems use a pipelined architecture ; indeed , a pipeline was used in every one of the systems surveyed by Reiter ( 1994 ) and Paiva ( 1998 ) . This may be because pipelines have many engineering advantages , and in practice the sort of problems pointed out by Danlos and other pipeline critics do not seem to be a major problem in current applied NLG systems ( Mittal et al. 1998 ) .
