Corpus-Based Planning of Deictic Gestures in COMIC

Abstract. We describe the recording and annotation of a corpus of roleplaying dialogues in the domain of the COMIC multimodal dialogue system. We give some generalisations about the use of deictic gesture in this task, and show how those findings are currently used in the presentationplanning module of the dialogue system prototype. Finally, we describe how the use of gestures in the system will be evaluated, and outline the next steps in the development of the module.
