Learning to Mediate Perceptual Differences in Situated Human-Robot Dialogue (2015, methodology): “For instance, for the word ”left”, the robot can switch from the Gaussian model to the exponential decay function model as in (Regier and Carlson 2001).”
Grounding spatial relations for human-robot interaction (2013, methodology): “• Psycholinguistic Features extend those presented in [21] to 3D objects and to all projective prepositions.”
Understanding Natural Language Commands for Robotic Navigation and Mobile Manipulation (2011, background): “At- tention Vector Sum or AVS (Regier and Carlson, 2001) measures the degree to which relations like “in front of” or “to the left of” are true for particular groundings.”
Artificial cognition for social human-robot interaction: An implementation (2017, background): “These type of descriptors have been extensively studied in the context of language grounding [68, 69, 70, 71, 72].”
A Game-Theoretic Approach to Generating Spatial Descriptions (2010, methodology): “Though we use some of the techniques from work on the semantics of spatial descriptions (Regier and Carlson, 2001; Gorniak and Roy, 2004; Tellex and Roy, 2009), we empirically demonstrate that having a model of pragmatics enables more successful communication.”
A review of verbal and non-verbal human-robot interactive communication (2014, background): “A classic paper is [75], presenting an empirical study modeling the effect of central and proximal distance on 2D spatial relations; regarding the generation and interpretation of referring expressions on the basis of landmarks for a simple rectangle world, there is [76], while the book by [77]…”
A Pooling Approach to Modelling Spatial Relations for Image Retrieval and Annotation (2014, background): “Apart from building spatial representations in machine perception, there is a long standing interest from psychologists in und rstanding how hum n appr hend sp tial concepts [20, 26].”
A Multi-World Approach to Question Answering about Real-World Scenes based on Uncertain Input (2014, background): “We realize that the skilled use of spatial relations is a complex task and grounding spatial relations is a research thread on its own (e.g. [17], [18] and [19]).”
