Using Natural Language Generation for Navigational Assistance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we tackle the problem of generating natural route descriptions on the basis of input obtained from a commercially available way-finding system. Our framework and architecture incorporates the use of generic natural language generation techniques. Through examples we demonstrate that it is possible to bridge the gap between underlying representation and natural sounding descriptions. The work presented contributes both to the area of natural language generation and to the improvement of way-finding system interfaces.

Generation of Adaptive Route Descriptions in Urban Environments
This paper addresses the automatic generation of adaptive and cognitively adequate verbal route descriptions. Current automatic route descriptions suffer from a lack of adaptivity to the principles people employ in wayfinding communication, as well as to particular users’ information needs. We enhance adaptivity and cognitive adequacy by supplementing verbal route descriptions with salient geog...
متن کاملRobot Language Learning, Generation, and Comprehension
We present a unified framework which supports grounding natural-language semantics in robotic driving. This framework supports acquisition (learning grounded meanings of nouns and prepositions from human annotation of robotic driving paths), generation (using such acquired meanings to generate sentential description of new robotic driving paths), and comprehension (using such acquired meanings ...
متن کاملSentence Ordering in Electronic Navigational Chart Companion Text Generation
We present the sentence ordering part of a natural language generation module, used in the framework of a knowledge base of electronic navigation charts and sailing directions. The particularity of the knowledge base is that it is based on a controlled hybrid language, that is the combination of a controlled natural language and a controlled visual language. The sentence ordering process is abl...
متن کاملPreliminary Evaluation of the Voyager Spoken Language System
VOYAGER is a speech understanding system currently under development at MIT. It provides information and navigational assistance for a geographical area within the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Recently, we have completed the initial implementation of the system. This paper describes the preliminary evaluation of VOYAGEi% using a spontaneous speech database that was also recently collected....
متن کاملVirtual environment trajectory analysis: a basis for navigational assistance and scene adaptivity
This paper describes the analysis and clustering of motion trajectories obtained while users navigate within a virtual environment (VE). It presents a neural network simulation that produces a set of five clusters which help to differentiate users on the basis of efficient and inefficient navigational strategies. The accuracy of classification carried out with a self-organising map algorithm wa...
