FLAIRS 2004

User Modeling and HCI Approaches in Natural Language Generation (May 17-19, 2004 - Miami Beach, FL, USA)
"The goal of this special track is to bring together people working in user modeling and human-computer interaction with researchers in natural language generation. User modeling is relevant at all levels of the NLG process: content choice, text, sentence, phrase structure, and lexical choice. Aspects of the reader/listener that can influence NLG include affective state, cultural background, educational or experiential level, and age among many others. Although the gap between the HCI and NLG research communities has been wider than that between user modeling and NLG, a key concern of HCI is the role of user models in interface design and evaluation, including cognitive, affective, task-oriented, and sociological models of users. In addition, recent HCI research on intelligent and multimedia interfaces is bridging the gap. Therefore, this special track focuses on research exploring the connection between user modeling - from the perspective of the user modeling community or HCI - and NLG."
