INVITED SESSION:
Human-Computer Interaction in Natural Language Environment
2nd KES
International Symposium on
Intelligent Interactive
Multimedia Systems and Services
Scope of the session
Systems based on human-computer interactions are increasingly being deployed. Systems can interact with humans using different devices and sensors capturing its movements, but computers can also interact with humans through natural language. This special session is intended to investigate the role of Natural Language Processing for systems based on human-computer interactions. This includes systems which can engage a dialog with humans, answer to their questions, react to a command in natural language and give a feedback in natural language.
Topics
Original contributions are invited.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Human-computer Interaction using Natural Language Understanding
