The understanding of language mechanisms needs to take into account very precisely the interaction between all the different domains or modalities, which implies the constitution and the development of resources. We describe here the CID (Corpus of Interactional Data), an audio-video corpus in French recorded and processed at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL). The corpus has been annotate...

-This paper introduces an empirical study to investigate the use of multimodal metaphors in e-learning application in particular within the area of note-taking. The aim of the study is to measure and compare the level of usability of these metaphors. In order to carry out this comparative investigation, two experimental interfaces were built and performed by forty users. In the first interface ...

A growing number of collaborative networked organizations can be found in industry, services, and research. However, the lack of a reference model that could synthesize and formalize the base concepts, principles, and recommended practices, is an obstacle for an easier and more consistent development of the area. Therefore a reference modeling approach is proposed considering multiple modeling ...

Communicative action concerns achieving and maintaining mutual understanding among all those who are involved in a coordinated (organizational) situation. Communicative action is embedded in a social context. Current approaches in the Language/Action Perspective have focused mainly on the dynamic aspect of language, that is, on (business) conversation. In this paper, we develop a new model of c...

We propose a real-time and accurate solution to the Perspective-n-Point (PnP) problem –estimating the pose of a calibrated camera from n 3D-to-2D point correspondences– that exploits the fact that in practice the 2D position of not all 2D features is estimated with the same accuracy. Assuming a model of such feature uncertainties is known in advance, we reformulate the PnP problem as a maximum ...

International Chinese language volunteers often need to introduce tourism culture when teaching abroad. Due the inability of learners personally experience China in foreign environments, it can have a significant impact on effectiveness. The multimodal form combining images and text more intuitively help overseas understand China, enrich their learning after class, satisfy curiosity longing for...
