The "Mapping Meetings" project

This is the homepage for the NSF-funded project, "ITR/PE+SY:Mapping Meetings: Language Technology to make Sense of Human Interaction" (IIS-0121396) which runs from 2001-09-01 to 2005-08-31.

This project is a collaboration between the following groups and senior personnel:

• ICSI / UC Berkeley: Nelson Morgan (overall PI), Jane Edwards (ICSI Meeting Recorder page)
• Columbia: Dan Ellis (co-PI), Kathy McKeown, Julia Hirschberg
• U Washington: Katrin Kirchoff (co-PI), Mari Ostendorf (co-PI), Jeff Bilmes (SSLI Mapping Meetings page)
• SRI: Andreas Stolcke (co-PI), Liz Shriberg

Discussion board

We have an internal discussion board on the LabROSA DISCUS server: Mapping Meetings Discussion Board.
