Dr. Maria Koutsobogera, a Researcher at the Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), talks about the state-of-the-art research in Multimodal Communication, Information Processing and Retrieval. Research in Multimodal communication designs and optimizes models in order to create a more natural experience in agent-based communications. Recent studies on those models investigate applications beyond the improvement of context awareness and conversation flow, moving into sociological and psychological analysis of user groups.
