Communicating With Computers (CWC)
Abstract
The Communicating With Computers (CWC) program is advancing human-computer interaction by enabling computers to comprehend language, gesture, facial expression, and other communicative modalities in context. Human language is inherently ambiguous, so humans depend on additional communication pathways, including perception of the physical world and shared context, to communicate efficiently. CWC aims to provide computers with analogous capabilities to sense and encode aspects of the physical world in a perceptual structure, and to use this structure to disambiguate language. To accomplish this, CWC will apply and extend research in language, vision, gesture recognition and interpretation, dialog management, cognitive linguistics, and the psychology of visual encoding. CWC also aims to extend the communication techniques developed for physical contexts to nonphysical contexts and virtual constructs.
