I would like to automate periodic report writing based on data. Given one/some data tables, the machine should output texts like Stock A rose by 10% this year and hit 5 year high on 2019-12-01 , or we made a large profit in sector B . I can find the subject automatic text summarization , but seems it's about reading text and shorten it to its key sentences. Not exactly data summarization. Could someone recommend some book/paper/video/MOOC on text generation based on data ?
