Syncretic Text Composition in Artificial Museum Guides
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present our ongoing research about the composition of syncretic text for artificial museum guides. During a museum visit, the visitors receive information about the cultural assets and responses to their questions. The aim is to reuse existing texts(for example those already published on the web) to compose responses for visitors that take into account the time at their disposal, and are balanced with respect to possible insights. Finally, system responses will result from a composition process that coherently synchronises media elements with a synthetic voice related to selected text.
