10131 Executive Summary and Abstracts Collection – Spatial Representation and Reasoning in Language: Ontologies and Logics of Space

Authors: John Bateman, Anthony G. Cohn, and James Pustejovsky

Abstract
The goal of this seminar was to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to address the spatial semantics of natural language, the interface between spatial semantics and geospatial representations, and the role of ontologies in reasoning about spatial concepts in language and thought.

How can spatial language be learned?

Authors: Kenneth D. Forbus

Abstract
How languages are learned is one of the deepest mysteries of cognitive science. This question can be addressed from multiple perspectives. This position paper considers two of them: (1) How do people learn spatial language? (2) Given the wide range of spatial terms in language, how might we bootstrap the linguistic capabilities of intelligent systems that need spatial language to achieve wide and accurate coverage? We discuss each question in turn.

How should depiction be represented and reasoned about?

Authors: Kenneth D. Forbus

Abstract
Interpreting a scene requires understanding how its visual properties and context yield evidence about the spatial and conceptual properties of what it depicts. Depiction is intimately tied to spatial language, since describing a scene linguistically, or imagining a scene described in language, involves connecting linguistic and spatial knowledge. We focus here on scenes described via sketching.

Interpreting Place Descriptions for Navigation Services

Authors: Yunhui Wu and Stephan Winter

Abstract
We see a need for research bringing spatial intelligence into the fundamental mechanisms of parsing and interpreting place descriptions. An intelligent navigation service will have capabilities to imitate human route communication behavior (Winter and Wu, 2009), thus, at least the capabilities to make sense of place descriptions.

The Creeping Virtuality of Place

Authors: Inderjeet Mani

Abstract
Places are inherently dynamic. They also mediate between entities and events of significance to us, and space. They reflect a network of associations, involving landmarks deemed salient for various reasons. These are all properties assigned to a place by a speaker, and may or may not correspond to the properties assigned to a place by any other speaker. As a result, places have a subjective quality. These properties of dynamicity and subjectivity present interesting challenges when producing mashups that align different data sources. I propose addressing this by assuming that entities, following Hornsby & Egenhofer (2000), have histories, namely sequences of time intervals when they are predicated to exist. Places are entities with spatial properties that include topological relationships to other places, represented in terms of RCC-8 or the 9-intersection calculus, as well as distance and orientation relations. This spatio-temporal integration can avail of existing annotation schemes for space and time in natural language, but it leaves some open issues related to the representation of subjectivity.

Towards Linguistically-Grounded Spatial Logics

Authors: Joana Hois and Oliver Kutz

Abstract
We propose a method to analyze the amount of coverage and adequacy of spatial calculi by relating a calculus to a linguistic ontology for space by using similarities and linguistic corpus data. This allows evaluating whether and where a spatial calculus can be used for natural language interpretation. It can also lead to 'more appropriate' spatial logics for spatial language.
