Project Info
Participants PF-STAR intends to contribute to establish future activities in the field of Multisensorial and Multilingual communication (Interface Technologies) on firmer bases by providing technological baselines, comparative evaluations, and assessment of prospects of core technologies, which future research and development efforts can build from.
To this end, the project will address three crucial areas: technologies for speech-to-speech translation, the detection and expressions of emotional states, and core speech technologies for children.
For each of them, promising technologies/approaches will be selected, further developed and aligned towards common baselines. The results will be assessed and evaluated with respect
to both their performances and future prospects.
To maximise the impact, the duration of the project is limited to 24 months, and the workplan has been designed to delivered results in two stages: at mid-project term (month 14), and at the end of the project. This will permit to make relevant results available as soon as possible, and in particular on time for them to be used during the preparatory phase of the first call of FP6.

Timeline of PF-STAR Project
 
Project acronym: PF-STAR
Project full title: Preparing future multisensorial interaction research
Date of preparation of Annex 1: 24/05/2002
Proposal number: IST - 2001 - 37599
Operative commencement date of contract: 1/09/2002
Contributions to programme Key action objectives
  • With respect to the goals of Work Programme 2002, our project actively contributes to the realisation of '. the vision of an ambient intelligence landscape..' and addresses the advancement and systematisation of our understanding and knowledge of '.technologies for natural and intuitive human interfaces .'. The technologies we address in this project all play a crucial role in this respect.

  • Beyond FP5, PF-STAR aims at contributing to establish FP6's activities in the field of Multisensorial and Multilingual communication on firmer bases by providing technological baselines, comparative evaluations, and assessment of prospects for core technologies in the area of Multilingual and Multisensorial Communications, thereby actively contributing to facilitate the realisation of the 'ambient intelligence' vision.
  • More precisely, PF-STAR is directly relevant to Action Line 3.5.3, for it attempts to make explicit and disseminate technological baselines for multilingual and multisensorial systems, thus preparing the ground for '..future paradigm for the next-generation knowledge and interface technologies.'.
    Finally, it nicely meshes with, and directly complements efforts to be pursued within Action Line 3.5.2 aiming at '.. preparing for RDT roadmaps .' that '..can be implemented using the new instruments proposed by the Commission for the next FP', in the multisensorial and multilingual interfaces domain
