The main objective
of this Action is to create knowledge in several
problem areas of spoken language interaction in
telecommunications in order to achieve communicative
interfaces that provide a natural human-computer
interaction through more cognitive, intuitive and
robust interfaces, whether monolingual, multilingual
or multimodal.
The scientific
programme emphasises speech and dialogue processing
in multimodal communication interfaces, issues related
to robustness and multilinguality, human-computer
dialogue theories, and models and systems and associated
tools for the establishment of interactive systems.
The programme also involves the evaluation of telecommunication
applications in which spoken language is the only
or one of many types of input or output modalities.
Activities within
COST278 are divided into three working groups with
various interests,
WG-1 Speech input
processing
WG-2 Multi-modal processing
WG-3 Dialogue processing
