Spatial relation marking across languages: extraction, evaluation, analysis

This paper presents a novel task, detecting Spatial Relation Markers (SRMs, like English in the bag), across languages, alongside a model for this task, RUIMTE .Using a massively parallel corpus of Bible translations, the model is evaluated against existing and baseline models on the basis of a novel evaluation set.The model presents high quality SRM extraction, and an accurate identification of situations where language have zero-marked SRMs.
