Multimodal Systems, Resources and Evaluation

This paper considers multimodal systems, resources, and evaluation. We first motivate the value of multimodal information access with a vision of multimodal question answering and an example of content based access to broadcast news video. We next describe intelligent multimodal interfaces, define terminology, and summarize a range of applications, required corpora, and associated media. We the...

The Properties of Intelligent Human-Machine Interface

Intelligent human-machine interfaces based on multimodal interaction are developed separately in different application areas. No unified opinion exists about the issue of what properties should these interfaces have to provide an intuitive and natural interaction. Having carried out an analytical survey of the papers that deal with intelligent interfaces a set of properties are presented, which...

Public Transport Ontology for Passenger Information Retrieval

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
