Meteorologists and Students: A resource for language grounding of geographical descriptors
This provides a specialized dataset for researchers in computational linguistics and AI working on geographical language tasks, but it is incremental as it focuses on data collection rather than new methods.
The authors created a data resource for language grounding research, specifically for geographical referring expression generation, by collecting datasets with 25 geographical descriptors and associated map polygons drawn by teenage students and expert meteorologists.
We present a data resource which can be useful for research purposes on language grounding tasks in the context of geographical referring expression generation. The resource is composed of two data sets that encompass 25 different geographical descriptors and a set of associated graphical representations, drawn as polygons on a map by two groups of human subjects: teenage students and expert meteorologists.
