# ANTLIMA - A Listener Model with Mental Images

Jörg R. J. Schirra, Eva Stopp

*Proceedings of the Thirteenth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence*, pages 175-179.

## Abstract

Starting from the thesis that the audience expects the speaker to mean the most typical case of the described class of events or situations with respect to the communicated context, we explain a mechanism for representing and using typicality distributions of static spatial relations which is related to Herskovits' analytical framework. Extended to restrictions of speed and temporal duration, this mechanism also allows us to construct dynamic mental images corresponding to the referents of objective sports reports.
