Rethinking symbolic and visual context in Referring Expression Generation.

Situational context is crucial for linguistic reference to visible objects, since the same description can refer unambiguously to an object in one context but be ambiguous or misleading in others. This also applies to Referring Expression Generation (), where the production of identifying descriptions is always dependent on a given context. Research in REG has long represented visual domains through information about objects and their properties, to determine identifying sets of target features during content determination.
