Semantic Annotation of Street-Level Geospatial Entities

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the PURSUIT Corpus -- an annotated corpus of geospatial path descriptions in spoken natural language. PURSUIT includes the spoken path descriptions along with a synchronized GPS track of the path actually taken. Additionally, we have manually annotated geospatial entity mentions in PURSUIT, mapping them onto point entries in several geographic information system databases. PURSUIT has been made freely available for download.
