Computational Models of Spatial Language Interpretation

چکیده
We examine why a probabilistic approach to modelling the various components of spatial language is the most practical for spatial algorithms in which they can be employed, and examine such models for prepositions such as `between' and `by'. We provide an example of such a probabilistic treatment by exploring a novel application of spatial models to the induction of the occupancy of an object in space given a description about it.

Using the Situational Context to Resolve Frame of Reference Ambiguity in Route Descriptions
The application domain for this research is human-robot interaction, specifically the interpretation of route instructions by robots. Two features of spatial language that are of particular relevance to route instruction interpretation are the notions of perspective and spatial reference frame. This paper presents a computational model that addresses the problem of resolving frame of reference ...
متن کاملSpatial Design for Knot Selection in Knot-Based Low-Rank Models
Analysis of large geostatistical data sets, usually, entail the expensive matrix computations. This problem creates challenges in implementing statistical inferences of traditional Bayesian models. In addition,researchers often face with multiple spatial data sets with complex spatial dependence structures that their analysis is difficult. This is a problem for MCMC sampling algorith...
متن کاملComputational Models of Spatial Language Interpretation and Generation – Preface –
One of the central problems in spatial language understanding is the polysemy and the vagueness of spatial terms, which cannot be resolved by lexical knowledge alone. We address this issue by developing a representation framework for functional interactions between objects and agents. We use this framework with a constraint solver to resolve and recover the meanings of spatial descriptions for ...
متن کاملSpatial Latent Gaussian Models: Application to House Prices Data in Tehran City
Latent Gaussian models are flexible models that are applied in several statistical applications. When posterior marginals or full conditional distributions in hierarchical Bayesian inference from these models are not available in closed form, Markov chain Monte Carlo methods are implemented. The component dependence of the latent field usually causes increase in computational time and divergenc...
متن کاملSpatial Aggregation: Language and Applications
Spatial aggregation is a framework for organizing computations around image-like, analogue representations of physical processes in data interpretation and control tasks. It conceptualizes common computational structures in a class of implemented problem solvers for difficult scientific and engineering problems. It comprises a mechanism, a language, and a programming style. The spatial aggregat...
