Projects and Research activities
Connect
and Drive (2009-2010)
Coonect and Drive is a project funded by
the Dutch funding agency SenterNovem through the
High-Tech Automotive Systems. A consortium composed of companies, TNO and the
three Dutch Universities of Technology aim at developing
technology for Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (C-ACC), in order to
prevent or reduce string instabilities in flocks of cars on the highway.
TUE-ID, together with TU Delft, addressed issues related to human factors of
C-ACC, aiming to develop technology that will be actuall
used by drivers.

CHIL (2004-2006)
CHIL stands for Computers in the
Human Interaction Loop. It is an EU sponsored FP6 Integrated Project aiming
to develop services that employ multimodal and perceptive technologies to
support human communication (rather than interfering with it). TUE is
responsible for conducting user research (requirements gathering and guideline
definition) and service evaluation (coming up with new metrics to assess
“performance improvement” for human communication rather than
taking a narrow view on usability evaluation for individual services).
COST278
COST
278, Spoken Language Interaction in Telecommunication, is an EU sponsored activity bringing together speech synthesis
laboratories across Europe for regular
exchange of information concerning speech recognition research and
application. One of the central topics is multimodal interaction.
CRIMI (2002-2005)
CRIMI
stands for Creating Robustness in Multimodal Interaction. The CRIMI project
builds on the MATIS project, and aims to extend the multimodal interface that
was built in the MATIS project with perceptive capacities: by including a
camera in the setup and implementing computer vision algorithms the system
should be able to detect whether a person is speaking to the system or to
another person in the environment. In this the system should be able to
distinguish between utterances that are meant for the system and require
action and utterances that are not meant for the system and require no
action. The CRIMI project is sponsored by the Dutch government, in the
framework of the IOP-MMI (Innovatiegericht Onderzoeksprogramma Mens-Machine
Interactie).
COST258
COST258, Naturalness
of synthetic speech, is an EU sponsored activity bringing together speech
synthesis laboratories across Europe for
regular exchange of ideas concerning the improvement of speech synthesis.
IDUSI
(2000-2004)
IDUSI is a research
project sponsored by the Dutch government, in the framework of the IOP-MMI (Innovatiegericht Onderzoeksprogramma
Mens-MAchine Interactie).
Its aim is to improve man-machine interaction by taking inspiration from
insights in human verbal communication.
MATIS (1999-2001)
MATIS is a research
project sponsored by the Dutch government, in the framework of the IOP-MMI (Innovatiegericht Onderzoeksprogramma
Mens-Machine Interactie).
Its aim is to investigate how the shortcomings of speech-only interfaces can
be cured by including other modalities in the interface. The primary focus is
on including direct manipulation facilities (visual presentation of
information on a screen and simple point-and-click devices).
COMRIS (1998-2000)
COMRIS is an EU
sponsored research project aiming at the development of a personalized
automatic messaging system. IPO contributes in the areas of speech synthesis
and usability issues.
NWO-Taal- en SpraakTechnologie
(TST) (1995-2000)
This is a 5-year programme funded by the Dutch government, and involves a
collaboration between four Dutch universities. The aim of the programme is to establish collaboration between language
technology and speech technology, and to advance technology in each of the
subfields. The research efforts are focused towards the development of a
spoken dialogue system which answers requests in the domain of public
transport information. IPO contributes in the areas of dialogue management,
language and speech generation, and usability issues. In addition, IPO is
responsible for the integration of the modules into a working demonstrator.
