As a consequence, diagram parsing does not need to assume any particular a priori interpretations of diagrams and their constituents. Focussing on Euler diagrams, we tackle the first of these subtasks—that of identifying the geometric entities that constitute a diagram (i.e., circles, rectangles, lines, arrows, etc.) and their topological relations—as an image captioning task, using a Vision Transformer for image recognition combined with language model GPT-2 to generate qualitative spatial descriptions of Euler diagrams with an encoder-decoder model. Due to the lack of sufficient high-quality data to train the pre-trained language model for this task, we describe how we generated a synthetic dataset of Euler diagrams annotated with qualitative spatial representations based on the Region Connection Calculus (RCC8). Results showed over 95% accuracy of the transformer-based language model in the generation of meaning-carrying RCC8 specifications for given Euler diagrams.This work has been carried out during a research stay by Marco Schorlemmer at the Institute of Cognitive Science of Osnabrück University, funded with a scholarship granted by the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdiest (DAAD) for Research Stays for University Academics and Scientists (no. 91881609). The cluster used to train the models was funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, no. 456666331). The preliminary work that led to this research stay was supported by project CORPORIS (no. PID2019-109677RB-I00) funded by Spain’s Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI) and by a grant for Grups de recerca consolidats (no. 2021 SGR 00754) funded by Catalonia’s Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca (AGAUR).Peer reviewedSpringer NatureGerman Research FoundationAgencia Estatal de Investigación (España)Generalitat de CatalunyaAgència de Gestió d'Ajuts Universitaris i de RecercaSchorlemmer, Marco [0000-0002-9591-3325]Kühnberger, Kai Uwe [0000-0003-1626-0598]Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252024info:eu-repo/semantics/otherhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_3248Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/378131https://api.elsevier.com/content/abstract/scopus_id/85204575273reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
