QTUNA is a series of elicitation experiments in which human speakers were asked to perform a linguistic task that invites the use of quantified expressions in order to inform a possible Natural Language Generation algorithms that mimic humans' use of quantified expressions. This work was inspired by a line of work focusing one specific class of noun phrases, i.e., referring expression, where they focus on corpora of referring expressions that were elicited under experimentally controlled conditions (e.g., TUNA experiment), but aiming this time to gain insights into quantified noun phrases.
The scenes we used for the QTUNA experiements can be dount in the scenes.pdf.
The plain texts elicitated in the QTUNA experiments can be found in the raw_data folder, each of which is in the format of:
1 1 1 There are only blue squares.
2 1 2 No circles, half red
3 1 3 Equally devided blue objects
4 1 4 Equal amount of red circles and blue squares
5 1 5 Most of them are squares, all blue
where the second and the third colomns are the subject ID and the scene ID respectively.
