Title
Natural language with integrated deictic and graphic gestures
Abstract
ABSTRACT People frequently,and,effectively integrate,deictic and,graphic,gestures,with,their natural language,(NL) when,conducting,human-to-human,dialogue. Similar multi-modal,commu- nication,can facilitate human,interaction,with,modern,sophisticated,information,processing and decision-aiding computer systems. As part of the CUBRICON project, we are develop- ing NL processing,technology,that incorporates,deictic and graphic,gestures,with simultane- ous coordinated,NL for both,user inputs,and,system-generated outputs.,Such multi-modal language should be natural and efficient for human-computer dialogue, particularly for pre- senting or requesting information about objects that are visible, or can be presented visibly, on,a graphics,display. This paper,discusses,unique,interface,capabilities that,the CUBRI- CON system,provides,including,the ability to: (1) accept,and understand,multi-media,input such,that references,to entities in (spoken or typed) natural,language,sentences,can include coordinated,simultaneous,pointing,to the respective,entities on,a graphics,display; use si- multaneous,pointing,and NL references to disambiguate,one another,when,appropriate; infer the intended,referent of a point gesture,which,is inconsistent,with,the accompanying,NL; (2) dynamically,compose,and,generate,multi-modal,language,that combines,NL with,deictic gestures,and,graphic,expressions; synchronously,present,the spoken,natural,language,and coordinated,pointing,gestures,and,graphic,expressions; discriminate,between,spoken,and written,NL.
