Abstract(in English) This paper deals with understanding referring expressions involving perceptual grouping. Using referring expressions is an important ability of conversational robots aimed at real/virtual world interaction. We conducted a psychological experiment to collect referring expressions involving perceptual grouping. Based on the collected data, a set of methods to identify referents are presented. Our method could correctly identify the referents of the collected expressions at accuracy of 79%.
