Abstract
This paper empirically explores the influence of two types of factors on the interpretation of spoken object descriptions: (1) descriptive attributes, e.g., colour and size; and (2) interpretation stages, e.g., syntax and pragmatics. We also investigate two schemes for combining attributes when estimating the goodness of an interpretation: Multiplicative and Additive. Our results show that the former scheme outperforms the latter, and that the weights assigned to the attributes of a description and the stages of an interpretation influence interpretation accuracy.
