Real-TurnTurk: A Multimodal Turkish Corpus for Turn-Taking Prediction

Turn-taking is a basic organizational feature of human conversation and remains difficult to model in natural, synchronous dialog systems. While existing research has explored multimodal approaches and large language models for turn-ending prediction, there is a lack of naturalistic conversational corpora specifically addressing turn-taking dynamics in Turkish. This study introduces a multimodal Turkish conversational dataset of unscripted dyadic interactions, comprising synchronized front-facing video, per-speaker audio channels that allow overlapping speech to be attributed to individual speakers, and time-aligned transcriptions. Turn-taking prediction is formulated as a binary classification problem, and a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to optimize interpretable decision rules derived from visual, acoustic, and linguistic features. A hybrid AND-OR rule representation is adopted in the proposed framework to represent the alternative cue combinations that precede a turn transition.

Hotel Recommendation System Based on User Profiles and Collaborative Filtering

Nowadays, people start to use online reservation systems to plan their vacations since they have vast amount of choices available. Selecting when and where to go from this large-scale options is getting harder. In addition, sometimes consumers can miss the better options due to the wealth of information to be found on the online reservation systems. In this sense, personalized services such as recommender systems play a crucial role in decision making. Two traditional recommendation techniques are content-based and collaborative filtering. While both methods have their advantages, they also have certain disadvantages, some of which can be solved by combining both techniques to improve the quality of the recommendation. The resulting system is known as a hybrid recommender system. This paper presents a new hybrid hotel recommendation system that has been developed by combining content-based and collaborative filtering approaches that recommends customer the hotel they need and save them from time loss.

Proceedings of eNTERFACE 2015 Workshop on Intelligent Interfaces

The 11th Summer Workshop on Multimodal Interfaces eNTERFACE 2015 was hosted by the Numediart Institute of Creative Technologies of the University of Mons from August 10th to September 2015. During the four weeks, students and researchers from all over the world came together in the Numediart Institute of the University of Mons to work on eight selected projects structured around intelligent interfaces. Eight projects were selected and their reports are shown here.
