human-like agents include both language and various nonverbal cues such as
pointing and gesturing. These human, nonverbal modalities can be used to
emphasize, extend or even replace the language output produced by the agent.
To deal with the interdependence between language and nonverbal signals,
their production processes should be integrated. In this chapter, we discuss
the issues involved in extending a natural language generation system with
the generation of nonverbal signals. We sketch a general architecture for
embodied language generation, discussing the interaction between the production
of nonverbal signals and language generation, and the different factors
influencing the choice between the available modalities. As an example we
describe the generation of route descriptions by an embodied agent in a 3D
environment. | Item Type: | Book Section |
