The Next Step towards a Function Markup Language

چکیده
In order to enable collaboration and exchange of modules for generating multimodal communicative behaviours of robots and virtual agents, the SAIBA initiative envisions the definition of two representation languages. One of these is the Function Markup Language (FML). This language specifies the communicative intent behind an agent’s behaviour. Currently, several research groups have contributed to the discussion on the definition of FML. The discussion reveals agreement on many points but it also points out important issues that need to be dealt with. This paper summarises the current state of affairs in thinking about FML.

متن کاملTowards a Common Framework for Multimodal Generation: The Behavior Markup Language
This paper describes an international effort to unify a multimodal behavior generation framework for Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs). We propose a three stage model we call SAIBA where the stages represent intent planning, behavior planning and behavior realization. A Function Markup Language (FML), describing intent without referring to physical behavior, mediates between the first two s...
متن کاملGraphML Progress Report Structural Layer Proposal
Following a workshop on graph data formats held with the 8th Symposium on Graph Drawing (GD 2000), a task group was formed to propose a format for graphs and graph drawings that meets current and projected requirements. On behalf of this task group, we here present GraphML (Graph Markup Language), an XML format for graph structures, as an initial step towards this goal. Its main characteristic ...
متن کاملXSTEP: An XML-based Markup Language for Embodied Agents
In this paper we propose a XML-based markup language for embodied agents, called XSTEP, based on the scripting language STEP. XSTEP is XML-encoded STEP. STEP is developed on the formal semantics of dynamic logic, and has been implemented in the distributed logic programming language DLP, a tool for the implementation of 3D web agents. In this paper, we discuss the issues of markup language desi...
متن کاملPromoting Dialogic Talk in a Speaking Classroom: Rethinking Bakhtinian Pedagogy
This study sought to promote EFL learners' speaking ability drawing on Bakhtin’s notion of dialogic discourse pattern (DDP) and to explore their perceptions towards implementing dialogic teaching (DT) in a speaking classroom. To this end, from the population of students in different language institutes, 47 students were selected based on a purposive sampling method. The data were collected at t...
