Towards automatic generation of multimodal answers to medical questions: a cognitive engineering approach

Year: 2007

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This paper describes a production experiment carried out to determine which modalities people choose to answer different types of questions.In this experiment participants had to create (multimodal) presentations of answers to general medical questions.The collected answer presentations were coded on types of manipulations (typographic, spatial, graphical), presence of visual media (i.e., photos, graphics, and animations), functions and position of these visual media.The results of a first analysis indicated that participants presented the information in a multimodal way.Moreover, significant differences were found in the information presentation of different answer and question types.
