Representing Communicative Functions in SAIBA with a Unified Function Markup Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
The SAIBA framework proposes two interface languages to represent separately an intelligent agent’s communicative functions (or intents) and the multimodal behavior determining how the functions are accomplished with a particular multimodal realization. For the functional level, the Function Markup Language (FML) has been proposed. In this paper we summarize the current status of FML as discussed by the SAIBA community, we underline the major issues that need to be addressed to obtain a unified FML specification, we suggest further issues that we identified and we propose a new unified FML specification that addresses many of these issues.

متن کاملRepresenting Communicative Function and Behavior in Multimodal Communication
In this paper I discuss how communicative behavior can be represented at two levels of abstraction, namely the higher level of communicative intent or function, which does not make any claims about the surface form of the behavior, and the lower level of physical behavior description, which in essence instantiates intent as a particular multimodal realization. I briefly outline the proposed SAI...
متن کاملThe Next Step towards a Function Markup Language
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 contribute...

متن کاملRealActor: Character Animation and Multimodal Behavior Realization System
In this paper we present RealActor, a character behavior realization system for embodied conversational agents based on the Behavior Markup Language (BML). Developed several years ago as part of the SAIBA framework, BML is an XML dialect for describing physical realizations of multimodal human behaviors. It allows modeling of complex communicative utterances which include both verbal and non-ve...
