Natural-language interfaces

Published: 01 April 2000 Publication History

Abstract

The CHI research community has investigated a number of issues related to natural-language (NL) processing. These include usability of hypertext [e.g., 2], spoken-dialogue systems as interfaces [e.g., 8, 6, 7, 4], and multi-modal interaction [e.g., 1, 5]. While there were few NL-related papers before 1993, the number of CHI papers relating to NL issues has been increasing since then, particularly in the last two years. Yet the CHI-NL community remains fragmented, with several micro-communities each contributing individual perspectives that do not often get tied together.This workshop grows out of interest expressed at the CHI 99 special interest group on Natural Language in Computer-Human Interaction in creating a community for researchers and practitioners in the area of natural language processing in CHI. This objective will be met by exchanging views on cross-cutting issues related to the workshop topic, and by jointly creating a plan for further development of the NL-CHI community.Associated objectives include:• Building communication between people who primarily self-identify as belonging to the CHI or NL communities• Identifying opportunities for NL practitioners to improve their practice and for NL researchers to develop new techniques• Stimulating research towards improved NL interaction techniques
