Groupwork

Groupwork at the workshop will be organised across a number of themes:

In Car: A great example of eyes-free/hands-free environment.
In the Home: Use of pervasive technology integrated into our living space.
Emotional Systems I: Giving the machine emotion and personality.
Emotional Systems II: Interacting with a machine with personality.
Robots: Interacting a physically present machine.
Meetings: A great example of pervasive use of speech technology to help record and access meeting data.
Infrastructure: An example of ASR for mobile apps.

The themes are by no means exhaustive, but intend to offer a starting point for discussion. For each theme we have a short video and we have selected two loosely connected academic papers. Below arte links to the videos and the papers we selected (Hard copies will be available on the day).
