Advances in Natural Multimodal Dialogue Systems (Text, Speech and Language Technology)

Buy
The chapters in this book jointly contribute to what we shall call the field of natural and multimodal interactive systems engineering. This is not yet a well-established field of research and commercial development but, rather, an emerging one in all respects. It brings together, in a process that, arguably, was bound to happen, contributors from many different, and often far more established, fields of research and industrial development. To mention but a few, these include speech technology, computer graphics and computer vision. The field’s rapid expansion seems driven by a shared vision of the potential of new interactive modalities of information representation and exchange for radically transforming the world of computer systems, networks, devices, applications, etc. from the GUI (graphical user interface) paradigm into something which will enable a far deeper and much more intuitive and natural integration of computer systems into people’s work and lives.

Jointly, the chapters present a broad and detailed picture of where natural and multimodal interactive systems engineering stands today. The book is based on selected presentations made at the InternationalWorkshop on Natural, Intelligent and Effective Interaction in Multimodal Dialogue Systems held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 2002 and sponsored by the European CLASS project. CLASS was initiated on the request of the European Commission with the purpose of supporting and stimulating collaboration among Human Language Technology (HLT) projects as well as between HLT projects and relevant projects outside Europe. The purpose of the workshop was to bring together researchers from academia and industry to discuss innovative approaches and challenges in natural and multimodal interactive systems engineering.

The main topic of this volume is natural multimodal interaction. The book is unique in that it brings together a great many contributions regarding aspects of natural and multimodal interaction written by many of the important actors in the field. It is a timely update of Multimodality in Language and Speech Systems, at the same time, it presents a much broader overview of the field. Its 17 chapters provide a broad and detailed impression of where the fairly new field of natural and multimodal interactivity engineering stands today. Topics addressed include talking heads, conversational agents, tutoring systems, multimodal communication, machine learning, architectures for multimodal dialogue systems, systems evaluation, and data annotation.

This title will prove very valuable to scientists, researchers and practitioners working in the fields of natural interactive systems, multimodal systems, conversational agents, spoken dialogue systems, natural language processing applications, advanced human-computer interfaces, analysis of multimodal data, evaluation of multimodal systems, and educational systems.
