Collaborating on Referring Expressions
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a computational model of how conversational participants collaborate in making referring expressions. The model is based on the planning paradigm. It employs plans for constructing and recognizing referring expressions and meta-plans for constructing and recognizing clarifications. This allows the model to account for the generation and understanding both of referring expressions and of their clarifications in a uniform framework using a single knowledge base.

A 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 کاملThe Prevalence of Descriptive Referring Expressions in News and Narrative

Researchers have focused almost exclusively on generating distinctive referring expressions, that is, referring expressions that uniquely identify their intended referent. While undoubtedly one of their most important functions, referring expressions can be more than distinctive. In particular, descriptive referring ...
متن کاملCoordination of referring expressions in multimodal human-computer dialogue
This study examines coordination of referring expressions in multimodal human-computer dialogue, i.e. to what extent users’ choices of referring expressions are affected by the referring expressions that the system is designed to use. An experiment was conducted, using a semi-automatic multimodal dialogue system for apartment seeking. The user and the system could refer to areas and apartments ...
متن کاملReferItGame: Referring to Objects in Photographs of Natural Scenes
In this paper we introduce a new game to crowd-source natural language referring expressions. By designing a two player game, we can both collect and verify referring expressions directly within the game. To date, the game has produced a dataset containing 130,525 expressions, referring to 96,654 distinct objects, in 19,894 photographs of natural scenes. This dataset is larger and more varied t...
متن کاملG-TUNA: a corpus of referring expressions in German, including duration information
Corpora of referring expressions elicited from human participants in a controlled environment are an important resource for research on automatic referring expression generation. We here present G-TUNA, a new corpus of referring expressions for German. Using images of furniture as stimuli similarly to the TUNA and D-TUNA corpora, our corpus extends on these corpora by providing data collected i...
