Title: Towards Automatic Understanding of `Virtual Pointing’ in Interaction
Authors: Ting Han, Spyros Kousidis, David Schlangen

Title: Multimodal Incremental Dialogue with InproTKs
Authors: Casey Kennington, Spyros Kousidis, David Schlangen
Abstract: We present extensions of the incremental processing toolkit InproTK which make it possible to plug in sensors and to achieve situated, real-time, multimodal dialogue. We also describe a new module which enables the use in InproTK of the Google Web Speech API, which offers speech recognition with a very large vocabulary and a wide choice of languages. We illustrate the use of these extensions with a description of two systems handling different situated settings.

Title: The Disfluency, Exclamation and Laughter in Dialogue (DUEL) Project
Authors: Jonathan Ginzburg, David Schlangen, Ye Tian and Julian Hough
