Context Adaptive Interaction with an Automatically Created Spoken Interface for Intelligent Environments

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper we present the interpretation and generation processes of a spoken dialogue interface for intelligent environments. The interface is automatically created for each specific environment and the interpretation and generation vary depending on the environment and its context. These processes rely on a dialogue tree structure. Several modules process the tree structure and the environment context information to produce specific dialogues for the current environment state. Dialogues are provided with clarification, error recovering, anaphora resolution and other capabilities. The interface is implemented in a real intelligent environment laboratory.

A Dynamic Spoken Dialogue Interface for Ambient Intelligence Interaction

“…The rest of the modules would remain as explained (see Section 6). The article focuses on the interpretation and generation processes and it just briefly explains how the plug and play dialogues for any given environment are built, which is described in Montoro et al (2004) in more detail. To evaluate this research an ambient intelligence environment has been built.…”

“…This interface is based on the environment representation stored on the blackboard and it dynamically adapts to the specific characteristics of the environment. A detailed explanation about the XML definition process for the spoken interface can be found in Montoro et al (2004).…”

“…It also provides a simple API, homogenizing the heterogeneity of elements in a simplified, event-free, function-free, applicationindependent representation (r1.1) [60] and privileges [36]) and the Interaction layer (i.e. how it can be used: Explicitly [2] [88] and Implicitly).…”
