  1. All about AMIAugmented Multiparty Interaction AMI Consortium

  2. What is AMI ? • a 13-member multi-disciplinary consortium dedicated to the development of technologies that will enhance multiparty interactions • Partners in the AMI project conduct research on human-to-human communications, particularly during business meetings between co-located and remote participants • Training and technology transfer • Began in Jan 2004, continues to Dec 2009 AMI Consortium

  3. Business = Meetings Meetings take a lot time, but are not always worth the effort AMI Consortium

  4. Typical project meeting... • A few person-weeks of meeting • $7,000 travel budget • 24 days away from family and friends • 24 days backlog of work • Evenings spent in transit AMI Consortium

  5. Documents AMI asks… 1. How can we improve the way people interact in meetings? Facialexpressions Lots of words Attentive Listening Gestures 2. How can we improve meeting outcomes? AMI Consortium

  6. AMI asks… 3. How can we (re) use meeting information better? Former FBI Special Agent Hosty’s contemporaneous handwritten notes from November 22, 1963 post-assassination interrogation of Lee Harvey Oswald … not like this AMI Consortium

  7. The AMI Vision • Technology supporting better interaction • Richer recording of our time together • Recognize interaction events and patterns • Reduce meeting overhead • Enable people to meet and work with more satisfaction, efficiency and effectiveness AMI Consortium

  8. Scientific Capture of “constrained” set of meetings Annotate Recognize Use in Applications Train Models Research Approach AMI Consortium

  9. Capture for Research Instrumented Meeting Rooms at IDIAP, UEDIN and TNO • Multiple synchronized media • Close-up and room view cameras • Close-talking and far-field audio • Whiteboard, PowerPoint and I/O digital pen interaction AMI Consortium

  10. Processing technology Visual tracking Audio-Visual tracking Face Orientation Look who is talking AMI Consortium

  11. Speech Dominance Emotions Gestures Actions Localisation Recognize AMI Consortium

  12. Annotate • NITE XML Toolkit AMI Consortium

  13. Content, events and patterns Who is in the meeting? What do the participants say? When and how do they communicate? What are they doing? Where are they going? What are their emotional states? What are they looking at? AMI Consortium

  14. Syntheses and analyses What topics are discussed and when? What decisions are made and by whom? What roles do the participants play? What positions do they take on issues? What activities are completed? What tasks are assigned or reported done? AMI Consortium

  15. Enriched meeting records • Multiple layers/tiers • Hierarchical • Support for time aligned and general content AMI Consortium

  16. Interfacetechnologies • JFerret Plug-ins: • Browsing • Search • Navigation • Etc. AMI Consortium

  17. Summarization AMI Consortium

  18. Summarization AMI Consortium

  19. The Vision Video • Scenario • Architectural challenge (eco-efficiency ratio) • Client has significant time constraints • Team members distributed (Hong Kong) • AMI is in use between meetings and for Hong Kong attendee to catch up during meeting in progress AMI Consortium

  20. Commercial Products • As a result of technology transfer, vendors will add AMI technology to differentiate their products or services • Enterprises will have richer meetings and archives AMI Consortium
