Pamela W. Jordan
Research Associate
Learning Research & Development Center
University of Pittsburgh

I received a PhD in Intelligent Systems from the University of
Pittsburgh and an MS in Computational Linguistics from Carnegie Mellon
University.  During my time at the Learning Reseearch and Development
Center I have developed and tested four major dialogue-based learning
systems in laboratory and classroom settings.  My current research
focus is on adapting content according to user needs with an emphasis
on adapting the content presented during tutorial dialogue to match a
student's level of mastery.  In the distant past, I served on the
SIGdial board.

If elected, I would continue the efforts that the SIGGEN board has
already started to improve the visibility of NLG research.  This
includes strengthening our collaborations with SIGdial, with whom we
successfully shared joint sessions and activities during our 2014
conferences, encouraging workshops that highlight NLG research issues
at conferences held by other ACL SIGs, societies and research
communities, and encouraging improved resources on our website for
those interested in getting started in NLG.
