Incremental Generation of Plural Descriptions: Similarity and Partitioning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Approaches to plural reference generation emphasise simplicity and brevity, but often lack empirical backing. This paper describes a corpusbased study of plural descriptions, and proposes a psycholinguistically-motivated algorithm for plural reference generation. The descriptive strategy is based on partitioning. An exhaustive evaluation shows that the output closely matches human data.

ITRI-00-31 Generating Vague Descriptions
This paper deals with the generation of deenite (i.e., uniquely referring) descriptions containing semantically vague expressions (`large', `small', etc.). Firstly, the paper proposes a semantic analysis of vague descriptions that does justice to the context-dependent meaning of the vague expressions in them. Secondly, the paper shows how this semantic analysis can be implemented using a modiic...

متن کاملZoom: a corpus of natural language descriptions of map locations
This paper describes an experiment to elicit referring expressions from human subjects for research in natural language generation and related fields, and preliminary results of a computational model for the generation of these expressions. Unlike existing resources of this kind, the resulting data set the Zoom corpus of natural language descriptions of map locations takes into account a domain...
متن کاملGenerating Collective Spatial References
Generation of Referring Expressions is concerned with distinguishing descriptions for target referents in a knowledge base. Plural reference introduces novel problems, one of which is the collective/distributive distinction. This paper presents an empirical study of the production of collective spatial references, and an algorithm that determines content for such expressions from spatial data.
متن کاملEvaluation of Similarity Measures for Template Matching
Image matching is a critical process in various photogrammetry, computer vision and remote sensing applications such as image registration, 3D model reconstruction, change detection, image fusion, pattern recognition, autonomous navigation, and digital elevation model (DEM) generation and orientation. The primary goal of the image matching process is to establish the correspondence between two ...
