Among the new natural language methods introduced in this book are Sequence Package Analysis, which locates and extracts valuable opinion-related data buried in online postings; microintonation as a way to make TTS truly human-like; and several models of truly-intelligent mobile personal-assistants. The empirical studies in this volume include two grounding frameworks for designing mobile interfaces capable of engaging in human-like interaction with users. The book concludes with a discussion of "supernatural dialogues" that blend music, space, and other domains with traditional elements of natural language processing.
