Many animals acquire food by stealing it from others. There are species of specialist thieves, but more commonly animals will search for both food items and items already found by others, often conspecifics, that can be stolen. This type of behaviour has previously been modelled using a range of approaches. One of these is the Finder–Joiner model, where one animal, the ‘‘Finder’’, discovers a f...

This paper presents a Prefix Tree based model of Generation of Referring Expression (RE). Our algorithm PTBSGRE works in two phases. First, an encoded prefix tree is constructed describing the domain structure. Subsequently, RE is generated using that structure. We evaluated our system using Dice, MASI, Accuracy, Minimality and Uniqueness scoring method using standard TEVAl tool and the result ...
