Beschreibung
The result of four years of intensive research in a large multimodal dialogue project involving 12 partners from academia and industry, SmartKom is one of the most advanced multimodal dialogue systems worldwide and is a landmark project in the history of intelligent user interfaces. The system provides symmetric multimodality in a mixed-initiative dialogue system with an embodied conversational agent. The same software architecture and components are used in three fully operational application scenarios. The theoretical and practical foundations of SmartKom represent a new generation of multimodal dialogue systems that deal not only with simple modality integration and synchronization, but cover the full spectrum of multimodal dialogue. With contributions by leading scientists in the field, this book gives the first comprehensive overview of the results of this seminal project.
Provides a detailed description of the salient characteristics of SmartKom: Seamless integration and mutual disambiguation of multimodal input and output on semantic and pragmatic levels Situated understanding of possibly imprecise, ambiguous, or incomplete multimodal input Context-sensitive interpretation of dialog interaction on the basis of dynamic discourse and context models Adaptive generation of coordinated, cohesive, and coherent multimodal presentations Semi- or fully automatic completion of user-delegated tasks through the integration of information services Intuitive personification of the system through a presentation agent Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

From the reviews:
"The book is organized into six parts, each of which contains several chapters. … This book should be useful for many types of readers. Those who want to get a sense of the state of the art of multimodal communication … will find it invaluable. Students who have had a good grounding in artificial intelligence or natural language processing should read the book to get an overview of how the techniques from these fields can be integrated into a comprehensive system." (J. P. E. Hodgson, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (4), April, 2008)
