SEMAINE project released first public demonstrator

SEMAINE-1.0 is the first public demonstrator of the SEMAINE project, resulting from development in the first project year. 
 
As a snapshot of “work in progress”, the demonstrator aims to illustrate the following: 
 
* the SEMAINE project has proposed a system architecture for realising multimodal analysis and generation in a user-and-ECA dialogue situation; 
* a SEMAINE API has been created to allow processing components to communicate with each others according to the architecture, using appropriate representation formats at interfaces between components; 
* an initial set of components exist to partially realise the core functions of a SAL system.  
 
The system is not yet intended to function as a fully operational, real-time SAL system; its main aim is to give an “early view” to technologically interested experts, indicating the direction in which the work is going. Individuals and research teams interested in cooperation around the SEMAINE platform are explicitly invited to contact the project team. 
 
The system is open source (LGPL, portions GPL).
