EMMI Progress Report:
An Evaluation of Research Done with
the First EMMI Interface
Abstract:Three experiments (same language, human-human; bilingual, human-interpreted; and
bilingual, machine-interpreted) were conducted in the context of the first EMMI
interface. All of the analyses done on the data gathered in these experiments are collected
and summarized here. The effectiveness of the multimedia component of EMMI is
assessed in relation to telephone mode; it is also evaluated as an interface for automatic
language processing. Conclusions drawn from these evaluations and from direct
examination of the system itself form the basis for the design of a second interface, also
described here.
