  • Multimodal Maps: An Agent-based Approach

    In book Multimodal Human-Computer Communication, Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence #1374, Bunt/Beun/Borghuis (Eds.), Springer, pp 111-121.

    Here, we attempt to create a more natural interface for interacting with a community of web-reading agents and using a distributed community of agents. As a user specifies requests by drawing, writing, and speaking to a map, agents compete and cooperate to resolve ambiguities arising from multimodal fusion and then cooperate to achieve the user's task.

  • Mobile navigation of network-based electronic information using spoken input

    Issued US 6,757,718

    A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for navigating an electronic data source by means of spoken language where a portion of the data link between a mobile information appliance of the user and the data source utilizes wireless communication. When a spoken input request is received from a user who is using the mobile information appliance, it is interpreted. The resulting interpretation of the request is thereupon used to automatically construct an operational navigation…

    A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for navigating an electronic data source by means of spoken language where a portion of the data link between a mobile information appliance of the user and the data source utilizes wireless communication. When a spoken input request is received from a user who is using the mobile information appliance, it is interpreted. The resulting interpretation of the request is thereupon used to automatically construct an operational navigation query to retrieve the desired information from one or more electronic network data sources, which is transmitted to the mobile information appliance.
