A Cognitive Assistant for Visualizing and Analyzing Exoplanets

AAAI Conferences

We demonstrate an embodied cognitive agent that helps scientists visualize and analyze exo-planets and their host stars. The prototype is situated in a room equipped with a large display, microphones, cameras, speakers, and pointing devices. Users communicate with the agent via speech, gestures, and combinations thereof, and it responds by displaying content and generating synthesized speech.


Water Advisor - A Data-Driven, Multi-Modal, Contextual Assistant to Help With Water Usage Decisions

AAAI Conferences

We demonstrate Water Advisor, a multi-modal assistant to help non-experts make sense of complex water quality data and apply it to their specific needs. A user can chat with the tool about water quality and activities of interest, and the system tries to advise using available water data for a location, applicable water regulations and relevant parameters using AI methods.
