Grounding spatial prepositions for video search [PDF]
Proceedings of the 2009 international conference on Multimodal interfaces, 2009 Spatial language video retrieval is an important real-world problem that forms a test bed for evaluating semantic structures for natural language descriptions of motion on naturalistic data. Video search by natural language query requires that linguistic

Reflections on the Functional Characterization of Spatial Prepositions [PDF]
Corela, 2010 In his research on spatial prepositions, Vandeloise raised the basic question of whether they are really spatial in nature. He clearly established the importance—if not the predominance—of functional considerations.

Children &Society, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract As a primary source for the early ages, picture books guide preschool children's gender perception through stories and illustrations. However, previous studies have criticised an overall gender inequality in children's picture books. Compared to the increasing attention on gender diversity in the UK picture book industry, there has been little

Disambiguating spatial prepositions: The case of geo‐spatial sense detection [PDF]
Transactions in GIS, 2022 AbstractSpatial relations in natural language are frequently expressed through prepositions. Thus, in the locative expressions “New York in the United States” and “the house on the river” the prepositions “in” and “on,” respectively, serve to communicate the relationships in space between the subject and object of the preposition.

On the spatial uses of prepositions [PDF]
Proceedings of the 18th annual meeting on Association for Computational Linguistics -, 1980 At first glance, the spatial uses of prepositions seem to constitute a good semantic domain for a computational approach. One expects such uses will refer more or less strictly to a closed, explicit, and precise chunk of world knowledge. Such an attitude is expressed in the following statement:"Given descriptions of the shape of two objects, given ...
