  abstract  = {Opinionated Natural Language Generation (ONLG) is a new, challenging, task that
	aims to automatically generate human-like, subjective, responses to opinionated
	articles online. 
	We present a data-driven architecture for ONLG that generates subjective
	responses triggered by users’ agendas, consisting of topics and sentiments,
	and based on wide-coverage automatically-acquired generative grammars.
	We compare three types of grammatical representations that we design for ONLG,
	which interleave different layers of linguistic information and are induced
	from a new, enriched dataset we developed.
	Our evaluation shows that generation with Relational-Realizational (Tsarfaty
	and Sima’an, 2008) inspired grammar gets better language model scores than
	lexicalized grammars `a la Collins (2003), and that the latter gets better
	human-evaluation scores. 
	We also show that conditioning the generation on topic models makes generated
	responses more relevant to the document content.},
