Multimodal Framework Design, Children’s Multimodal Usage Patterns and the Efficacy of Mutual Disambiguation for Children

Mutual Disambiguation with Children

nObjectives

qCollect and analyze mutual disambiguation statistics obtained from RAPUNSEL interaction session.

qStudy differences in the efficiency of mutual disambiguation for children versus adults.

nMotivations

qChildren tend to gesture more often than adults in multimodal interfaces.

qUnimodal speech recognition is more difficult with children than adults

qHypothesis is that opportunities to take advantage of mutual disambiguation will occur more often as more speech recognition error occur and more gesture input is available
