Testimonial for EMMA 1.0 (KIT)

Dear colleague,

Here is testimonial for EMMA 1.0 from Kyoto Institute of Technology.

-----------------------------------
Kyoto Institute of Technology (KIT) strongly supports the Extensible
MultiModal Annotation 1.0 (EMMA) specification. We have been using
EMMA within our multimodal human-robot interaction system. EMMA
documents are dynamically generated by (1) the Automatic Speech
Recognition (ASR) component and (2) the Face Detection/Behavior
Recognition component in our implementation.

In addition, the Information Technology Standards Commission of Japan
(ITSCJ), which includes KIT as a member, also has a plan to use EMMA
as a data format for their own multimodal interaction architecture
specification. ITSCJ believes EMMA is very useful for both uni-modal
recognition component, e.g., ASR, and multimodal integration
component, e.g., speech with pointing gesture.
