Example scenes showing two types of syntax violations: Mild violations were created by MISLOCATED otherwise semantically consistent objects (left panel); Violations of PHYSICS (right panel) were created by either showing objects hovering in mid air or critically balancing. In the PHYSICS cases, semantic understanding of the object is not needed in order to detect syntactic violation.
