According to the Oxford English Dictionary the term originates from "hax pax max Deus adimax", a pseudo-Latin phrase used as a magical formula by conjurors.

Hence it may be necessary to explicitly reason about false positive vs false negative tradeoffs, and even calculate the utility of different possible referring expressions in a particular task context. Ideally, a good referring expression should satisfy a number of criteria: REG goes back to the early days of NLG. One of the first approaches was done by Winograd in
