‘Auto-Presentation’: A Multi-Agent System for Building Automatic Multi-Modal Presentation of a Topic from World Wide Web Information

The system, ‘Auto-Presentation’, builds a presentation automatically by parsing, summarizing and correlating information collected from the Internet based knowledge sources after receiving the presentation topic from the user. The system, with the help of a group of character based software-agents, presents the topic verbally with accompanied slides and different gestures. Section 1 provides brief introduction and section 2 describes the architecture and explains different components of ‘Auto-Presentation’. Section 3 describes necessary algorithms. Section 4 depicts some test results and evaluations. Section 5 concludes the paper. 1
