Abstract

Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products are described herein that are configured to express a linguistic description of set of points within a spatial area in an output text. In some example embodiments, a method is provided that comprises generating one or more descriptors and/or one or more combinations of descriptors that are configured to linguistically describe at least a portion of a set of points within a spatial area. The method of this embodiment may also include scoring each of the one or more descriptors and/or one or more combinations of the one or more descriptors. The method of this embodiment may also include selecting a descriptor or combination of descriptors that has the highest score when compared to other descriptors or combination of descriptors, providing the descriptor or combination of descriptors satisfies a threshold.
