The
Intelligent Interactive Information Presentation cluster is part of
the CLASS project established to coordinate cluster and
cross-cluster activities among RTD projects that follow the 1999
Information Society Technologies (IST) Human Language Technologies (HLT)
Call. CLASS partners, NIS (Odense, Denmark, co-ordinating partner),
DFKI (Saarbrucken, Germany), IRST (Trento, Italy),and LIMSI (Paris,
France), are committed to undertaking the co-ordination activities
of topics in natural and multimodal interactivity, cross-lingual
knowledge management, and intelligent interactive information
presentation, respectively.
The
Intelligent Interactive Information Presentation cluster seeks to
provide a medium where researchers and users in the field of
information presentation can share ideas, findings, problems, and
solutions. By increasing collaboration among projects studying this
field, as well as private businesses working with this technology,
i3p hopes to build on the synergy and critical mass created by joint
efforts, and thus achieving greater results than would otherwise be
possible.
Cluster
Objectives & Goals:
The
Intelligent Interactive Information Presentation cluster orientation is in
flexible information presentation, particularly natural language. Of
fundamental importance are effective generation systems that, given an
internal representation of the relevant knowledge, decide what is to be
communicated and how it should be organised to enable a coherent text
structure, and thus produce the most appropriate linguistic expression to
convey a message. Underlying i3p technologies, thus, seek to study natural
language generation and concept-to-speech, multimodal and cross-modal
presentation, such as integration of graphics and language, porting of
information originating from one modality to another as in Web-to-phone
communication, user modelling, summarisation and adaptive hypermedia. To
this end, specific i3p goals include:
 |
Coordinate cluster and cross-cluster activities in intelligent interactive
information presentation in order to increase project collaboration,
efficiency and effectiveness, economies of scales, visibility through
dissemination and impact, including results take-up
|
 |
Establish
a common infrastructure for basic technologies: best practice, common
architecture, data, modules, system evaluation, and assessment
|
 |
Establish
liaisons with relevant overseas efforts: circulate relevant information,
improve awareness, promote dissemination of results
|
 |
Establish
links with industries and elaborate common strategies for results
dissemination
|
 |
Provide
market, technological, and scientific state-of-the-art assessment
