Summary
Project Work Plan
The first phase of the project is mainly concerned with development of
software for various subtasks such as for conducting empirical
investigations, and tools for creating information sources. It also
includes studies of ontologies and investigations of information
needs.
The second phase is more focused on building a first integrated
dialogue system application and developing knowledge sources. It also
includes analyses of a first unimodal corpus and development of a
multi-modal corpus.
Finally, in the third phase, the multimodal dialogue system will be
refined and evaluated. We will also make the resources developed
within this project available in an Open Source code
repository.
Nov 2001-Oct 2002
Development of an experimental environment for investigations on
control and cooperation in multimodal interactions.
Collection of a unimodal question corpus as a basis for understanding
the kind of information that needs to be identified and processed in
the document collection.
Development of methods for utilising taggers, lemmatisers and
dependency analyzers in building knowledge and information sources.
Incorporation of results from empirical study at RSV into
the prototype RSV Information System.
First investigation into creation of ontologies, a small
ontology will be developed for a restricted domain.
Nov 2002-Oct 2003
Investigations on control and cooperation in multimodal interactions.
Categorised analysis of the unimodal question corpus: question
and answer types. Perspectival differences between concepts used in
questions and the concepts in the document base.
Collection of a multimodal question corpus including analysis.
Development of language technology modules for automatic
extraction/generation of information and knowledge sources.
Development of language technology modules for interpretation of
questions.
Development of a first version of an integrated dialogue system
for one domain.
Study of ontological issues, domain concepts and representation,
in regards to machine learning.
Nov 2003-Oct 2004
Continued work on multimodal interactions,
interpretation of questions, and ontological issues.
Creation of a collection of resources, such as wrappers,
lexicons, etc.
Further development of the integrated dialogue system, including
work on dialogue and domain knowledge management in the \malin\
dialogue system framework.
Evaluation of the integrated dialogue system.
