A Computational Model of Spatial Language Understanding

My research interest in spatial language study is to build a computational model of spatial language, which calculates a mapping between space and language. It requires sufficient evidence based on psychological experiments. In my PhD study I tried to extend an existing model to three-dimensional space and distractor-condition models.
