From the Virtual to the RealWorld: Referring to Objects in Real-World Spatial Scenes (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Rieser, V., Bartie, P., & Mackaness, W. (2015). From the Virtual to the RealWorld: Referring to Objects in Real-World Spatial Scenes. In Proceedings of the 2015 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (1936-1942). http

Predicting the success of referring expressions (RE) is vital for real world applications such as navigation systems. Traditionally, research has focused on studying Referring Expression Generation (REG) in virtual, controlled environments. In this p...

A Game-Based Setup for Data Collection and Task-Based Evaluation of Uncertain Information Presentation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., Cercas Curry, A., Rieser, V., & Lemon, O. (2015). A Game-Based Setup for Data Collection and Task-Based Evaluation of Uncertain Information Presentation. In Proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation (112-113).

Decision-making is often dependent on uncertain data, e.g. data associated with confidence scores, such as probabilities. A concrete example of such data is weather data. We will demo a game-based setup for exploring the effectiveness of different ap...

A Snapshot of NLG Evaluation Practices 2005 - 2014 (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gkatzia, D., & Mahamood, S. (2015). A Snapshot of NLG Evaluation Practices 2005 - 2014. . https://doi.org/10.18653/v1/w15-4708

In this paper we present a snapshot of endto-end NLG system evaluations as presented in conference and journal papers1 over the last ten years in order to better understand the nature and type of evaluations that have been undertaken. We find that re... Read More about A Snapshot of NLG Evaluation Practices 2005 - 2014.

Generating and Evaluating Landmark-Based Navigation Instructions in Virtual Environments (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Cercas Curry, A., Gkatzia, D., & Rieser, V. (2015). Generating and Evaluating Landmark-Based Navigation Instructions in Virtual Environments. In Proceedings of the 15th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation (90-94). https://doi.org/10.18653/v1

Referring to landmarks has been identified to lead to improved navigation instructions. However, a previous corpus study suggests that human “wizards” also choose to refer to street names and generate user-centric instructions. In this paper, we cond...

Exploratory Navigation for Runners Through Geographic Area Classification with Crowd-Sourced Data (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McGookin, D., Gkatzia, D., & Hastie, H. (2015). Exploratory Navigation for Runners Through Geographic Area Classification with Crowd-Sourced Data. In Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and S

Navigation when running is exploratory, characterised by both starting and ending in the same location, and iteratively foraging the environment to find areas with the most suitable running conditions. Runners do not wish to be explicitly directed, o... Read More about Exploratory Navigation for Runners Through Geographic Area Classification with Crowd-Sourced Data.
