Humans vs Vision-Language Models: A Unified Measure of Narrative Coherence

Nikolai Ilinykh, Hyewon Jang, Shalom Lappin +2

We study narrative coherence in visually grounded stories by comparing human-written narratives with those generated by vision-language models (VLMs) on the Visual Writing Prompts…

Predicting Sentence Acceptability Judgments in Multimodal Contexts

Hyewon Jang, Nikolai Ilinykh, Sharid Loáiciga +2

Previous work has examined the capacity of deep neural networks (DNNs), particularly transformers, to predict human sentence acceptability judgments, both independently of context,…

Surprisal reveals diversity gaps in image captioning and different scorers change the story

Nikolai Ilinykh, Simon Dobnik

We quantify linguistic diversity in image captioning with surprisal variance - the spread of token-level negative log-probabilities within a caption set. On the MSCOCO test set, we…

Coreference as an indicator of context scope in multimodal narrative

Nikolai Ilinykh, Shalom Lappin, Asad Sayeed +1

We demonstrate that large multimodal language models differ substantially from humans in the distribution of coreferential expressions in a visual storytelling task. We introduce a…

Describe me an Aucklet: Generating Grounded Perceptual Category Descriptions

Bill Noble, Nikolai Ilinykh

Human speakers can generate descriptions of perceptual concepts, abstracted from the instance-level. Moreover, such descriptions can be used by other speakers to learn provisional…

We went to look for meaning and all we got were these lousy representations: aspects of meaning representation for computational semantics

Simon Dobnik, Robin Cooper, Adam Ek +5

In this paper we examine different meaning representations that are commonly used in different natural language applications today and discuss their limits, both in terms of the as…

MeetUp! A Corpus of Joint Activity Dialogues in a Visual Environment

Nikolai Ilinykh, Sina Zarrieß, David Schlangen

Building computer systems that can converse about their visual environment is one of the oldest concerns of research in Artificial Intelligence and Computational Linguistics (see,…
