Research Interests

I am interested in reference – the way people identify the things they talk about – and in modelling the generation of referring expressions computationally, particularly those involving spatial relations between objects. For my thesis I investigate how automatic referring expression generation systems can be evaluated against human-produced corpora and whether these systems are adequate contenders as models of human reference behaviour. I also work on a project modelling the way discourse context in form of dialogues influences the content of a referring expression.
