Challenges in creating an annotated set of geospatial natural language descriptions. Winter S, Griffin A, Sester M. Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics, LIPIcs. Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik.978-3-95977-083-51868-8969https://mro.massey.ac.nz/handle/10179/73022In order to extract and map location information from natural language descriptions, a first step is to identify different language elements within the descriptions. In this paper, we describe a method and discuss the challenges faced in creating an annotated set of geospatial natural language descriptions using manual tagging, with the purpose of supporting validation and machine learning approaches to annotation and text interpretation.(c) 2018 The Author/sCC BY 3.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Annotation challengesspatial relationsspatial languageconference10.4230/LIPIcs.GIScience.2018.20c-conference-paper-in-proceedings
