ReferenceResolution

This paper describes the SDC PUNDIT, (Prolog UNDerstands Integrated Text), system for processing natural language messages. 1 PUNDIT , written in Prolog, is a highly modular system consisting of distinct …...

Aspects of semantic interpretation, such as quan- tifier scoping and reference resolution, are often realised computationally by non-monotonic opera- tions involving loss of information and destructive manipulation of semantic representations. …...

We present an overview of recent work in which eye movements are monitored as people follow spoken instructions to move objects or pictures in a visual workspace. Subjects naturally make …...

We report on experiments in reference res- olution using a decision tree approach. We started with a standard feature set used in previous work, which led to moderate re- sults. …...

We present a novel mechanism for im- proving reference resolution by using the output of a relation tagger to rescore coreference hypotheses. Experiments show that this new framework can im- …...

This paper proposes an approach to ref- erence resolution in situated dialogues by exploiting extra-linguistic information. Recently, investigations of referential be- haviours involved in situations in the real world have …...

We present a statistical model for predicting how the user of an interactive, situated NLP system resolved a referring expression. The model makes an initial prediction based on the meaning …...

A large part of human communication in- volves referring to entities in the world and often these entities are objects that are visu- ally present for the interlocutors. A system …...

AbstractRecent models achieve promising results in visually grounded dialogues. However, existing datasets often contain undesirable biases and lack sophisticated linguistic analyses, which make it difficult to understand how well current …...

AbstractRecent advances in language modeling have enabled new conversational systems. In particular, it is often desirable for people to make choices among specified options when using such systems. We address …...
