Generating Referring Expressions with Reference Domain Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present a reference generation model based on Reference Domain Theory which gives a dynamic account of reference. This reference model assumes that each referring act both relies and updates the reference context. We present a formal definition of a reference domain, a generation algorithm and its instantiation in the GIVE challenge.

A Computational Model of Reference MSc
This paper is an interdisciplinary study toward a theory of information status and representation of objects. The motivation is a computational problem: in Natural Language Generation, the task of Generating Referring Expressions (GRE) tacitly assumes that the referent is part of the user’s focus of attention and must be distinguished from other entities in that context. The generation of Heare...
متن کاملNatural Reference to Objects in a Visual Domain
This paper discusses the basic structures necessary for the generation of reference to objects in a visual scene. We construct a study designed to elicit naturalistic referring expressions to relatively complex objects, and find aspects of reference that have not been accounted for in work on Referring Expression Generation (REG). This includes reference to object parts, size comparisons withou...
متن کاملA Computational Model for Generating Referring Expressions in a Multilingual Application Domain
In this paper we analyse the problem of generating referring expressions in a multilingnal generation system that produces instructions on how to fill out pension forms. The model we propose is an implementation of the theoretical investigations of Martin and is based on a clear representation of the knowledge sources and choices that contribute to the identification of the most appropriate lin...
متن کاملUDel: Generating Referring Expressions Guided by Psycholinguistc Findings
We present an approach to generating referring expressions in context utilizing feature selection informed by psycholinguistic research. Features suggested by studies on pronoun interpretation were used to train a classifier system which determined the most appropriate selection from a list of possible references. This application demonstrates one way to help bridge the gap between computationa...
متن کامل'One'-anaphora and the case for discourse-driven referring expression generation
Conventional approaches to the generation of referring expressions place the task within a pipelined architecture, typically somewhere between text planning and linguistic realisation. In this paper, we look at the issues that arise in generating one-anaphoric referring expressions; examination of this task causes us to reflect on the current predominant architectural models for natural languag...
