Conceptual Coherence in the Generation of Referring Expressions
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the challenges in the automatic generation of referring expressions is to identify a set of domain entities coherently, that is, from the same conceptual perspective. We describe and evaluate an algorithm that generates a conceptually coherent description of a target set. The design of the algorithm is motivated by the results of psycholinguistic experiments.

A Conceptual Graph approach to the Generation of Referring Expressions
This paper presents a Conceptual Graph (CG) framework to the Generation of Referring Expressions (GRE). Employing Conceptual Graphs as the underlying formalism allows a rigorous, semantically rich, approach to GRE. A number of advantages over existing work are discussed. The new framework is also used to revisit existing complexity results in a fully rigorous way, showing that the expressive po...

متن کاملLexical Choice and Conceptual Perspective in the Generation of Plural Referring Expressions
A fundamental part of the process of referring to an entity is to categorise it (for instance, as the woman). Where multiple categorisations exist, this implicitly involves the adoption of a conceptual perspective. A challenge for the automatic Generation of Referring Expressions is to identify a set of referents coherently, adopting the same conceptual perspective. We describe and evaluate an ...
متن کاملAn Inferential Approach to the Generation of Referring Expressions
This paper presents a Conceptual Graph (cg) framework to the Generation of Referring Expressions (gre). Employing Conceptual Graphs as the underlying formalism allows a new rigorous, semantically rich, approach to gre: the intended referent is indenti ed by a combination of facts that can be deduced in its presence but not if it would be absent. Since cgs allow a substantial generalisation of t...
متن کاملTowards a psycholinguistically motivated algorithm for referring to sets: The role of semantic similarity
This paper explores the role of semantic similarity in content selection and aggregation of expressions referring to sets. Similarity plays a role in ensuring that a referring expression corresponds to a coherent conceptual gestalt. On the basis of corpusbased and experimental evidence we propose an algorithm which (a) separates content selection and aggregation to avoid a combinatorial explosi...
