CHI 2013 Plenary: Vint Cerf - Conversations with a Computer

CHI 2013 Plenary: Vint Cerf - Conversations with a Computer Vint Cerf, Chief Internet Evangelist at Google and former ACM President, gave a special CHI 2013 – ACM ECRC 2013 joint keynote. Abstract There have been efforts to achieve dialog with computer-based systems since the origins of computing. From the 1960s, serious efforts have been mounted to engage in natural language dialog. There were false starts with simple dictionary-based efforts. Syntactic/Semantic efforts gave way to statistical methods with some successes. The Bayesian approach appears to be reaching an asymptote so it is likely that attention must refocus on syntactic/semantic approaches. Interestingly, efforts to achieve communication between humans and other species have also demonstrated the value of shared experiences. Holding something in common seems a critical element of establishing communication. One wonders to what extent such efforts might also inform any plan to deal with communication between humans and extra-terrestrials, should any ever show up in our vicinity! Biography Vinton G.
