Learning Grasping Possibilities for Artifacts: Dimensions, Weights and Distributional Semantics
Irene Russo, Irene De Felice · Accademia University Press eBooks · 2015
In this paper we want to test how grasping possibilities for concrete objects can be automatically classified. To discriminate between objects that can be manipulated with one hand and the ones that require two hands, we combine conceptual knowledge about the situational properties of the objects, which can be modeled with distributional semantic methodologies, and physical properties of the objects (i.e. their dimensions and their weights), which can be found on the web through crawling.
