Popis: It is well-known that people with autism or mental retardation experience crucial problems in thinking and communicating using linguistic structures. Thus, we foresee the emergence of text-to-image conversion systems to let such people establish a bridge between linguistic expressions and the concepts these expressions refer to via relevant images. S2S is such a system for converting Turkish sentences into representative 3D scenes via the mediation of an HPSG-based NLP module. A precursor to S2S, a non-3D version, has been tested with a group of students with autism and mental retardation in a special education center and has provided promising results motivating the work presented in this paper.
