Charlotte - a Talking TV Guide
Charlotte is a natural language interface to the TVAnytime scheduling information. You can ask her in plain english questions like "when is spooks on", "what is on tomorrow night" and so on. For added impact we've given her an avatar and text-to-speech system - but these aren't essential to her function.
Further work will include more patterns for her AIML matching system, better handling of tag searches ("eg what gritty dramas are on this week"), more natural presentation of results, and conversely, a list mode when you just want a blow by blow schedule.
Charlotte currently focusses on Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú1 and 2 only.
