Description |
<p>The CODA project will develop the theory and technology for automatically creating
dialogue content from text in monologue form. There is ample empirical evidence that
presentation of information in the form of a dialogue can be more effective than monologue
(e.g., for tutoring and persuasive communication). Since most information is locked
up in text (books, leaflets, webpages, etc.), text-to-dialogue generation technology
can play an important role in making information available in a form that best meets
people's needs for easily processable and engaging information. The effectiveness
of dialogue is magnified by the fact that it is eminently suitable for new multimedia
presentation styles - for instance, a dialogue can be performed by digital computer-animated
characters.</p><p>In May 2011, the<a href="http://www.papworth.org.uk/"target="_blank"title="http://www.papworth.org.uk/">Papworth
Trust</a>commissioned two videos based on their information leaflets for service users.
The content of the videos is prepared using the CODA Monologue-to-Dialogue technology.
The videos are available on the Papworth Trust's YouTube Channel (see<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-MkbwAneY"title="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb-MkbwAneY">User
