Dear Colleagues, It is our pleasure to invite you to participate in
this 4th IEEE Tutorial and
Research Workshop on PERCEPTION
AND INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES FOR SPEECH-BASED SYSTEMS (PIT08),
which will be held at the Kloster Irsee in southern The workshop focuses on advanced speech-based human-computer
interaction where various contextual factors are modelled and taken into
account when users communicate with computers. This includes mechanisms,
architectures, design issues, applications, evaluation and tools. Prototype
and product demonstrations will be very welcome. Future interfaces will be endowed
with more human-like capabilities. For example, the emotional state of the
user will be analysed so as to be able to automatically adapt the dialogue
flow to user preferences, state of knowledge and learning success. Strategies
in menu selection will be guided by computational models of attention and the
analysis of eye movements tracked in various scenarios. Complex knowledge
bases and reasoning capabilities will control ambient devices that
automatically adapt to user requirements and communication styles and, in
doing so, help reducing the mental load of the user. Future interfaces will finally
behave like real partners or cognitive technical assistants to their users. The workshop will bring together
researchers from various disciplines such as, for example, computer science
and engineering sciences, medical, psychological and neurosciences, as well
as mathematics. It will provide a forum for the presentation of research and
applications and for lively discussions among researchers as well as
industrialists in different fields. We welcome you to the workshop.
