5. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin FP6  The Treaty establishing the European Community provides for the creation of multiannual research and technological development  The Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) is the European Unions main instrument for the funding of research in Europe within 2002- 2006.  The overall budget for FP6 is 17.5 billion euro.

6. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin ERA  In the past, collaborative actions have been initiated at European and Community level,  but now is the time to bring our endeavours together and to build a research and innovation equivalent of the "common market" for goods and services.  That structure is called the European Research Area (ERA) and is regrouping all Community supports for the better coordination of research activities and the convergence of research and innovation policies, at national and EU levels.

27. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin PART III Cognitive Systems in FP6 scope and focus

28. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Outline  why cognitive systems? IST vision  what research? focus of call  where are we starting from? current activities

29. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Vision Ambient intelligence “… ability of computationally empowered devices to interconnect with each other and with us …”  sensors provide a window from world of interconnected computation into real physical world  using sensors, these devices will sense the world around us and respond by interacting with the world or by communicating with us  they need to ‘see’, ‘hear’, …. ‘understand’ and ‘act’  Ambient Intelligence requires perceptual systems capable of cognition

30. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Objective To construct physically instantiated or embodied systems that can :  perceive,  understand (the semantics of information conveyed through their perceptual input)  learning (structured memory)  interact with their environment, (CCI & CHI communication)  evolve in order to achieve human-like performance in activities requiring context-(situation and task) specific knowledge.

31. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Focus 2002-2003  Research will aim at realizing:  complete systems with  real-time performance and/or bounded rationality,  have well developed memory capacities (e.g. short term, long term, iconic, associative) with efficient representation,  and that acquire representations as needed to realise performance goals.  to perform goal-directed tasks  The emphasis is on closing the loop in realistic test cases.

32. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Known Challenges  A main target of this research is interdisciplinarity:  computer vision,  natural language understanding,  robotics,  artificial intelligence,  mathematics and  cognitive neuroscience  and its impact on overall system design.

33. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Outcomes  Direct Applications: – in image recognition, in behavioural interpretation, in video annotation, speech recognition, in automatic categorisation and classification, in goal-specification and decision support,… – can serve to demonstrate and measure progress but applications NOT main target of research  Methods & approaches for constructing robust & adaptive systems capable of cognition

34. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Ongoing Activities  cognitive vision systems 2000 – 2002  robust image recognition  from application-specific to generalised solutions  from focus on low-level processing & robustness of individual components to systems approach where every component (incl. high-level cognitive functionalities) has a role to play in assuring robust behaviour of system  longer-term, largely academic, interdisciplinary effort  8 RTD projects & 1 Network: www.ecvision.info

56. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Interface Technology Tools  IPs are expected to address the objectives within a holistic approach enabling, where justified, competition within and across projects.  NoEs should aim at lowering barriers between hitherto split communities and disciplines and advance knowledge in the field. They should help establish and reinforce shared infrastructures, including for training and evaluation, annotation standards and appropriate usability metrics and benchmarks.  STREPs are expected to bootstrap research in identifiable or emerging sub-domains and to prepare associated communities.

57. Content, Multimedia Tools and Markets Linguistic Applications Philippe Gelin Cognitive System tools  Integrated Projects are expected to leverage these communities to integrate methods and insights towards the objective of realizing entire systems and to promote community building.  NoEs will provide a channel for fostering foundational research, for developing and maintaining common resources, specifically, of open systems and training environments to study learning and evolving systems.
