Generating Collective Spatial References
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Designing an Algorithm for Generating Named Spatial References
We describe an initial version of an algorithm for generating named references to locations of geographic scale. We base the algorithm design on evidence from corpora and experiments, which show that named entity usage is extremely frequent, even in less obvious scenes, and that names are normally used as the first focus on a global region. The current algorithm normally selects the Frames of R...
متن کاملA Game-Theoretic Approach to Generating Spatial Descriptions
Language is sensitive to both semantic and pragmatic effects. To capture both effects, we model language use as a cooperative game between two players: a speaker, who generates an utterance, and a listener, who responds with an action. Specifically, we consider the task of generating spatial references to objects, wherein the listener must accurately identify an object described by the speaker....
متن کاملOn the Distribution of Discounted Collective Risk Model
We study the distribution of discounted collective risk model where the counting process is Poisson. For the model considered here, we obtain mean, variance and moment generating function (m.g.f) of the model. To do this, we use two approaches. In the first approach we use classical methods to obtain the mean and variance. In the second approach we introduce some proper martingale and then we o...
متن کاملDelayed coupling theory of vertebrate segmentation.
Rhythmic and sequential subdivision of the elongating vertebrate embryonic body axis into morphological somites is controlled by an oscillating multicellular genetic network termed the segmentation clock. This clock operates in the presomitic mesoderm (PSM), generating dynamic stripe patterns of oscillatory gene-expression across the field of PSM cells. How these spatial patterns, the clock's c...
متن کاملSpatial Narration in Amir Naderi's New York Trilogy
This article is concerned with the relationship of language and city in Amir Naderi’s trilogy of films on New York, comprising of Manhattan by Numbers (1993), A, B, C… Manhattan (1997), and Marathon (2002). By dint of a narrative relied on spatiality, he is in fact able to causally link the solitude and the spectral existence of his protagonists to the lack of a common language for reco...
