Ted reviews agenda asks if there are other topics
Mike: I would be interested in voice interaction within automotive context as that is my current focus
Ted: voice has been of considerable interest but unfortunately we were never able to engage Nuance who was a W3C Member. There is a W3C Community Group based on Google's API which some are following from automotive. Can you tell us more about what you are doing at IBM with voice?
Mike: what we are working on is
voice interactions with humans, could be from a phone, laptop
etc and used as a chat interface
... using natural language understandings
... I have used Nuance's engine before
... we have intent entities and dialogs
... if a user sends a text compute it comes back as voice and
in reverse voice to textual intent
... entities could be an object like a day of the week,
location, etc that gets extracted and iterpretted
... this is based on the Watson conversation service and there
are similar from FB and Google
Hira: we need to clarify use
cases for automotive and other uses
... this is partially covered by MMI WG
Ted: I thought MMI more focused on playback, combining subtitles and closed captioning with voice than it is about speech interpretation?
Paul: OEM like the idea of voice command based control
Ted: it does include
input/speech
... Mike, do you know how much your group had followed MMI?
Mike: not sure, we are looking to
apply this within IoT space
... starting to adopt this Watson voice platform
... also visual recognition
... not sure if those groups in IBM are part of W3C
Ted: visual recognition is of
great interest as well for recognizing [parts of] signs,
pedestrians
... MMI is a closed WG
Ted:visual recognition is also of great interest in the industry but there has been no standards work in W3C Automotive in that space. There will be demos from Renasas and others next week on their recognition engines
Ted: there is a stronger more immediate (if not overdue) need for voice imho. visual recognition is of more interest to the upcoming driver assist and autonomous focus the industry is moving toward
Paul: we had Dominec from @@ talking with various people from Google's CG effort
Ted: we should probably survey the group and see if there is enough interest in voice to try to explore it more in the BG
Paul: as you said it requires critical mass
Paul: basically I am most interested in covering F2F agenda on this call
https://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/61259/uk2017f2f/results
Ted: VISS and VIAS are both close to their respective milestone publications, both have outstanding issues and think since most of the editors are not on this call defer those topics to the F2F and think on other agenda.
Paul: Genivi has settled on
browser baked into their platform. Rudi is leading their
Networking Expert Group
... we should look at liaisons within Genivi groups to join our
F2F
Ted: also Genivi Security Expert Group
... I'll reach out to Stacey
Topics:
-VISS
-VIAS
-Testing
-RSI
-Payments
-Security and Networking group liaisons
-WG recharter
Junichi: regrets for the
F2F
... our focus needs to be on VIAS and VISS specifications
... Urata has some topics that touch on security within the
specs
<hira> https://w3c.github.io/automotive/vehicle_information_api/vehicle_information_api_specification.html
Paul: to me it boils down to
finalizing the tests and spec
... finishing up outstanding issues and open to hearing your
plan on how to proceed
Ted: I have seen some things
around tokens from Urata
... as for your question on the scope of Genivi's Security
Expert Group, they are going to be turning their attention on
our work soon
-Future BG incubator TFs
(eg speech)
Ted: I will update the wiki. Junichi and Mike, send topics and availibility for remote participation
Hira: I will join remotely too
Ted: send to member-automotive@w3.org your availablility and interest as well
