Machine Learning for Multimodal Interaction: First International Workshop, MLMI 2004, Martigny, Switzerland, June 21-23, 2004, Revised Selected Papers: 3361 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This book contains a selection of refereed papers presented at the 1st Wo- shop on Machine Learning for Multimodal Interaction (MLMI 2004), held at the "Centre du Parc," Martigny, Switzerland, during June 21-23, 2004. The workshop was organized and sponsored jointly by three European projects, - AMI, Augmented Multiparty Interaction, http://www.amiproject.org - PASCAL, Pattern Analysis, Statistical Modeling and Computational Learning, http://www.pascal-network.org - M4, Multi-modal Meeting Manager, http://www.m4project.org as well as the Swiss National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR): - IM2: Interactive Multimodal Information Management, http://www.im2.ch MLMI 2004 was thus sponsored by the European Commission and the Swiss National Science Foundation. Given the multiple links between the above projects and several related - search areas, it was decided to organize a joint workshop bringing together - searchers from the di?erent communities working around the common theme of advanced machine learning algorithms for processing and structuring mul- modal human interaction in meetings. The motivation for creating such a forum, which could be perceived as a number of papers from di?erent research dis- plines, evolved from a real need that arose from these projects and the strong motivation of their partners for such a multidisciplinary workshop. This asse- ment was indeed con?rmed by the success of this ?rst MLMI workshop, which attracted more than 200 participants.

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Machine Learning for Multimodal Interaction, MLMI 2004, held in Martigny, Switzerland in June 2004.

The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on HCI and applications, structuring and interaction, multimodal processing, speech processing, dialogue management, and vision and emotion.
