SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ABSTRACTING PORTIONS OF INFORMATION THAT IS REPRESENTED WITH FINITE-STATE DEVICES

摘要

When using finite-state methods to capture multimodal integration, it is desirable to abstract over certain aspects of the gestural content. For abstraction, t he gestural input is represented as a transducer which relates the specific content of the gestures to the gesture symbols. After multimodal integration, a projection is taken of the resulting finite stay a machine and it is composed with the transducer representing the gestural input in order to reincorporate the specific contents that were left out of the finit e- state process.
