This article introduces the topic ''Production of Referring Expressions: Bridging the Gap between Computational and Empirical Approaches to Reference'' of the journal Topics in Cognitive Science. We argue that computational and psycholinguistic approaches to reference production can benefit from closer interaction, and that this is likely to result in the construction of algorithms that differ markedly from the ones currently known in the computational literature. We focus particularly on determinism, the feature of existing algorithms that is perhaps most clearly at odds with psycholinguistic results, discussing how future algorithms might include non-determinism, and how new psycholinguistic experiments could inform the development of such algorithms.
本文介绍了期刊《认知科学新趋势》中“指代生成：弥合计算与实证方法之间的差距”这一主题。我们认为，指代生成的计算方法和心理语言学方法可以从更紧密的互动中受益，这很可能导致构建的算法与计算文献中目前已知的算法有明显的不同。我们特别关注决定论，这是现有算法中最明显与心理语言学结果不一致的特征，讨论未来的算法如何纳入非决定论，以及新的心理语言学实验如何为这类算法的发展提供信息。
