Evaluating field crisping methods for representing spatial prepositions

There is a need for GIR systems to interpret the vague aspects of spatial language. Here we describe an initial approach towards evaluating crisp realisations of a field-based model of the use of the spatial preposition “near”, based on evidence of usage of the term in image captions. Categories and Subject Descriptors J.2 [Physical Sciences and Engineering]: [Earth and atmospheric sciences] General Terms Languages, Experimentation, Verification Keywords Spatial language, kernel density estimate, active contours, evaluation
