Meanings for Fusion Project

First of all, we have to explain what "Meanings for Fusion" means. We work with multimodal applications, which mean applications that use other forms of interaction in addition to the keyboard and mouse. We consider, for example, speech recognition as a modality where a microphone detects sounds that are analyzed and the results can be used for some computer's operations. Realize that, even classified as an input device, a microphone doesn't execute computer's operations by itself.

The main challenge is to extract meanings from the modalities supported by an application and identify how these meanings can be complementary to represent the needs of the user when interacting with the computer. The computer should react according to a decision making process based on machine learning algorithms.

Basically, we aim to extract meanings and fuse them, which justifies the title of the project.
