Call For Papers Special issue of the International Journal of Semantic
Computing on GESTURE IN MULTIMODAL SYSTEMS |
 |
|
Guest
Editors Craig Martell (Naval Dan Loehr (MITRE) |
This special issue of the International Journal of Semantic Computing (www.worldscinet.com/ijsc) is concerned with models of gesture that can contribute to
semantics for multimodal systems. We see
this as ranging from simply using gesture to help understand the most salient
part of another modality, e.g., speech, to full-blown gestural interfaces, to
the building of data/corpora to support this research.
We follow Adam Kendon's
broad definition: "Gesture: Visible action as utterance" (2004,
Topics to be addressed
include, but are not limited to:
·
Interpretation
of gestural behavior
·
Gesture
synthesis
·
Gesture
as input
·
Studies
of gesture in interaction with other modalities
·
Corpora
of gesture in multimodal systems
·
What
can multimodal systems learn from computational analyses of
sign language?
·
Etc.
