Text to 3D Scene Generation with Rich Lexical Grounding
The ability to map descriptions of scenes to 3D geometric representations has
many applications in areas such as art, education, and robotics. However, prior
work on the text to 3D scene generation task has used manually specified object
categories and language that identifies them. We introduce a dataset of 3D
scenes annotated with natural language descriptions and learn from this data
how to ground textual descriptions to physical objects. Our method successfully
grounds a variety of lexical terms to concrete referents, and we show
quantitatively that our method improves 3D scene generation over previous work
using purely rule-based methods. We evaluate the fidelity and plausibility of
3D scenes generated with our grounding approach through human judgments. To
ease evaluation on this task, we also introduce an automated metric that
strongly correlates with human judgments.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figures, 3 tables. To appear in ACL-IJCNLP 201
