However, a review of the existing literature shows that the automatic generation of people descriptions has not received much attention. Our work focuses on the description of people in snapshots from a 3D environment. First, we have conducted a survey to identify the way in which people describe other people under different conditions. We have used the information extracted from this survey to design several Referring Expression Generation algorithms which produce similar results. We have evaluated these algorithms with users in order to identify which ones generate the best description for specific characters in different situations. The evaluation has shown that, in order to generate good descriptions, a combination of different algorithms has to be used depending on the features and situation of the person to be described.1 aMéndez, Gonzalo1 aHervás, Raquel1 aBautista, Susana1 aRabadán, Adrián1 aRodríguez-Ferreira, Teresa  uhttps://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-3507
