Johan Boye
I'm an associate professor (docent) in the Speech Technology group at the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH.
I do research in language technology, in particular spoken dialogue systems and multi-modal dialogue systems, and more recently in computational (text) linguistics.
Specific problems I have addressed are spoken language understanding, dialogue management, and knowledge representation and semantic formalisms for such dialogue systems. I have investigated these problems in many different domains: geographic route planning, travel planning, intelligent homes, database search, call routing, troubleshooting, interactive exhibitions, and speech-enabled computer games. Have a look at my publications.
Projects
I'm currently doing research on
- Language generation and understanding in navigation scenarios (funding by VR, Vinnova, PTS and Promobilia)
- Generation of multiple-choice questions from Swedish text (funding by Vinnova and Digital Futures)
- The SpaceBook project (EU-FP7).
- The Companions project (EU-FP6)
- Automated technical support
- Natural-language call routing
- The NICE speech-enabled computer game (EU-FP5)
- The Adapt multimodal dialogue system for finding apartments in Stockholm.
- The Dhomme project for dialogues in the home environment (EU-FP5).
- Travel planning
Thanks to a grant from STINT, I spent the fall semester of 2016 as a visiting scholar at the Computer Science department at Williams College in Massachusetts, USA. Here is my report from the visit.
