Computer-supported human-human multilingual communication

چکیده
Computers have become an essential part of modern life, providing services in a multiplicity of ways. Access to these services, however, comes at a price: human attention is bound and directed toward a technical artifact in a human-machine interaction setting at the expense of time and attention for other humans. This paper explores a new class of computer services that support human-human interaction and communication implicitly and transparently. Computers in the Human Interaction Loop (CHIL), require consideration of all communication modalities, multimodal integration and more robust performance. We review the technologies and several CHIL services providing human-human support. Among them, we specifically highlight advanced computer services for cross-lingual communication.

متن کاملCommunicative Strategies and Patterns of Multimodal Integration in a Speech-to-Speech Translation System
When multilingual communication through a speech-to-speech translation system is supported by multimodal features, e.g. pen-based gestures, the following issues arise concerning the nature of the supported communication: a) to what extend does multilingual communication differ from ‘ordinary’ monolingual communication with respect to the dialogue structure and the communicative strategies used ...
متن کاملUser Perceptions of Human-to-Human Communication Modes in CSCW Environments
An empirical study has been carried out to explore the relative impact of different human-to-human communication modes on dyadic computer supported cooperative work. Initially a pilot study evaluated a document-sharing groupware system supplemented by face-to-face, telephone-based, and text-based communication modes between the two users. The results of this study were then used to design a mor...
متن کاملMultilingual human-computer interactions: from information access to language learning
This paper describes our recent work in developing multilingual conversational systems that support human-computer interactions. Our approach is based on the premise that a common semantic representation can be extracted from the input for all languages, at least within the context of restricted domains. In our design of such systems, language dependent information is separated from the system ...
