How can spatial language be learned?

Authors: Kenneth D. Forbus

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10131, Spatial Representation and Reasoning in Language : Ontologies and Logics of Space (2011)

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

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 10131, Spatial Representation and Reasoning in Language : Ontologies and Logics of Space (2011)

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.
