Toward Communicating Simple Sentences Using Pictorial Representations

Rada Mihalcea, Ben Leong


Abstract
This paper evaluates the hypothesis that pictorial representations can be used to effectively convey simple sentences across language barriers. Comparative evaluations show that a considerable amount of understanding can be achieved using visual descriptions of information, with evaluation figures within a comparable range of those obtained with linguistic representations produced by an automatic machine translation system.
