Multimodal Output Management
Frédéric Landragin · 2013
In addition to vocal returns, the Intelligent Multi Media Presentation Systems (IMMPS) can manifest reactions and answers through visual returns or even gestures if it can materialize itself with an avatar displayed on screen. The task can also involve the presentation of information to the user. The generation of all these messages at the system's output involves many choices on its part: what information should be highlighted? What part of the information should be rendered visually? What part should be rendered orally? This chapter discusses the necessary parameters for such choices and the automatic generation techniques of multimodal and linguistic messages. The chapter also talks about the linguistic preoccupations in input processing as well as the cognitive aspect preoccupations such as taking into account human factors to generate adapted messages.
