- Contextual Machine Translation - Despite significant progress in machine translation, little work has been done to address large-scale translation of natural multi-party human interactions in real-world contexts. Multi-party interactions typically ...
- Eye Gaze in Salience Modeling for Spoken Language Processing - Previous psycholinguistic work has shown that eye gaze is tightly linked to human language processing. Almost immediately after hearing a word, the eyes move ...
- Robust Multimodal Interpretation in Conversation Systems - Multimodal systems allow users to interact with computers through multiple modalities such as speech, gesture, and gaze. These systems are designed to support...
