Proposal of a Multimodal Interaction Description Language for Various Interactive Agents Masahiro ARAKI Akiko KOUZAWA Kenji TACHIBANA Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Information and Systems Vol.E88-D No.11 pp.2469-2476 Publication Date: 2005/11/01 Online ISSN: DOI: 10.1093/ietisy/e88-d.11.2469 Print ISSN: 0916-8532 Type of Manuscript: Special Section PAPER (Special Section on Life-like Agent and its Communication) Category: Keyword: multimodal interaction, interactive agent, spoken dialogue, VoiceXML, XForms, Full Text: PDF(231.8KB)>>
Summary: In this paper, we propose a new multimodal interaction description language, MIML (Multimodal Interaction Markup Language), which defines dialogue patterns between human and various types of interactive agents. The feature of this language is three-layered description of agent-based interactive systems. The high-level description is a task definition that can easily construct typical agent-based interactive task control information. The middle-level description is an interaction description that defines agent's behavior and user's input at the granularity of dialogue segment. The low-level description is a platform dependent description that can override the pre-defined function in the interaction description. The connection between task-level and interaction-level is realized by generation of interaction description templates from the task level description. The connection between interaction-level and platform-level is realized by a binding mechanism of XML. As a result of the comparison with other languages, MIML has advantages in high-level interaction description, modality extensibility and compatibility with standardized technologies. | ||||||||||
