摘要
Generating coherent, semantically accurate text from large structured inputs remains a persistent challenge in data-to-text generation, as single-step LLM mappings from data-to-text limit control over discourse structuring and amplify hallucinations and omissions as input size grows. We introduce a new dataset of extended DBpedia triple sets (up to 199 triples per input), and a modular multi-agent framework: specialised LLM agents handle content ordering, text structuring, and surface realisation under the supervision of an orchestrator and guardrail control loop. The system generates multi-paragraph outputs in English and Irish (low-resource). We compare a three-worker multi-agent configuration against a single-worker multi-task variant and a strong end-to-end baseline. Quality is assessed via human evaluation and LLM-as-a-judge (with truncation-based sanity checks). Results show slightly superior coherence for the multi-agent approach in both languages, with statistically significant inter-rater correlation over all criteria for English and no statistically significant correlation for Irish. Human-LLM alignment is very weak overall, thus exposing key limits in scalable NLG evaluation.
