I read through the manual and I'm curious, is there any way to use treat to generate English sentences from a set of data? For example if I had a set of weather or sports statistics and I wanted to auto generate an English summary.

If this is something not currently included, is there a good java or python library that can be blatantly ripped off? I think it would be a killer feature. looked through the NLTK Documentation but I didn't find a clear way of doing this. Maybe I just missed it though.

Hi Doug,

There's no simple way to tackle this problem unfortunately. Perhaps you should look into Markov chains (see e.g. https://github.com/louismullie/emcee). If you have more specific questions I'll see if I can answer them better!

Closing this as the scope of the question is too wide to answer here.
