However, referring in conversation is a collaborative process that cannot be aptly characterized as an exchange of minimally-specified referring expressions. Concerns have been raised regarding assumptions made by prior work on visually-grounded dialogue that reveal an oversimplified view of conversation and the referential process. We address these concerns by introducing a collaborative image ranking task, a grounded agreement game we call \"A Game Of Sorts\". In our game, players are tasked with reaching agreement on how to rank a set of images given some sorting criterion through a largely unrestricted, role-symmetric dialogue. By putting emphasis on the argumentation in this mixed-initiative interaction, we collect discussions that involve the collaborative referential process. We describe results of a small-scale data collection experiment with the proposed task. All discussed materials, which includes the collected data, the codebase, and a containerized version of the application, are publicly available.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2309.05162v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.05162v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"collecting-visually-grounded-dialogue-with-a-1","repo_url":"https://github.com/willemsenbram/a-game-of-sorts","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"coreference-resolution","task_name":"Coreference Resolution"},{"task_slug":"image-retrieval","task_name":"Image Retrieval"},{"task_slug":"referring-expression","task_name":"Referring Expression"},{"task_slug":"referring-expression-comprehension","task_name":"Referring Expression Comprehension"},{"task_slug":"referring-expression-generation","task_name":"Referring expression generation"},{"task_slug":"visual-dialogue","task_name":"Visual Dialog"},{"task_slug":"visual-grounding","task_name":"Visual Grounding"},{"task_slug":"visual-reasoning","task_name":"Visual Reasoning"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[{"slug":"a-game-of-sorts","name":"A Game Of Sorts","full_name":""}],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
