Annotating information structure in a corpus of spoken Danish
This paper presents the work done to annotate a corpus of spoken Danish with information structure tags, and describes a preliminary study in which the corpus has been used to investigate the relation between focus and intra-clausal pauses. The study indicates that the pauses that do fall within the focus domain, tend to precede property-expressing words by which the object in focus is distinguished from other similar ones.peer-reviewe
Preface
This special issue of the Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces collects a variety of papers dealing with multimodal corpora. Developing a multimodal corpus involves the recording, annotation and analysis of several communication modalities such as speech, hand gesture, facial expression, body posture, etc. As many research areas are moving from focused but single modality research to fully-fledged multimodality research, multimodal corpora are becoming a core research asset and an opportunity for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas, concepts and data. The number of publicly available multimodal corpora is constantly growing as is the interest in studying multimodal communication by machines and through machines. This is a very positive trend, since the availability of large annotated multimodal corpora in different application domains, and for different languages, is a necessary prerequisite for the development of innovative, intelligent and flexible multimodal user interfaces.peer-reviewe

Learning when to point : a data-driven approach
The relationship between how people describe objects and when they choose to point is complex
and likely to be influenced by factors related to both perceptual and discourse context. In this
paper, we explore these interactions using machine-learning on a dialogue corpus, to identify
multimodal referential strategies that can be used in automatic multimodal generation. We show
that the decision to use a pointing gesture depends on features of the accompanying description
(especially whether it contains spatial information), and on visual properties, especially distance
or separation of a referent from its previous referent.peer-reviewe
