Foresight Cognitive Systems Initiative

Proceedings of the Workshop on

Speech, Language and Human Computer Interaction

 

Robinson College, Cambridge – 28th/29th June 2004

1. Introduction

This workshop was held as a follow-on to the Foresight - Cognitive Systems Project InterAction Conference held in Bristol in September 2003.  The workshop brought together 30 representatives of the UK speech and language research community with the aim of generating specific fundable research projects which cut across traditional discipline boundaries.  In particular, the workshop set out to understand the opportunities offered by cognitive neuroscience to inform the development of artificial cognitive systems and vice versa.

The workshop programme consisted of three main parts which are listed below.
