Abstract

In this demonstration we present a novel prototype system that implements a multi-modal interface for control of the television. This system combines the standard TV remote control with a dialog management based natural language speech interface to allow users to efficiently interact with the TV, and to seamlessly alternate between the two modalities. One of the main objectives of this system is to make the unwieldy Electronic Program Guide information more navigable by the use of voice to filter and locate programs of interest.

Using speech and dialogue for interactive TV navigation

Interaction techniques for interactive television (iTV) are currently complex and difficult to use for a wide-range of viewers. Few previous studies have dealt with the potential benefits of multimodal dialogue interaction in the context of iTV for the ...
Automatically training a problematic dialogue predictor for a spoken dialogue system

Spoken dialogue systems promise efficient and natural access to a large variety of information sources and services from any phone. However, current spoken dialogue systems are deficient in their strategies for preventing, identifying and repairing ...
