Integrating Vision and Audition within a Cognitive Architecture to Track Conversations
Abstract
We describe a computational cognitive architecture for robots which we call ACT-R/E (ACT-R/Embodied). ACT-R/E is based on ACT-R, but uses different visual, auditory and movement modules. We describe a model that uses ACT-R/E to integrate visual and auditory information to perform conversation tracking in a dynamic environment. We also performed an empirical evaluation study which shows that people see our conversational tracking system as extremely natural.
