+The Czech version of the Companion deals with the Reminiscing about User's Photos scenario, taking advantage of data recorded in first phase of the project. The basic architecture is same as of the English version, i.e. set of modules communicating through the Inamode Relayer (TID) backbone; however the set of modules is different (see Figure 1). Regarding the physical settings, the Czech version runs on two notebook computers connected by a local network; one can be seen as a Speech Client, running modules dealing with ASR, TTS and ECA, second as an NLP Server.

+The dialog is driven by a dialog manager component by USFD (originally developed for the English Senior Companion prototype). The selection is backed by (a) appropriateness for the type of dialog we aim for (the corpus reveals frequent reoccurring topics to be handled by DAFs) , (b) availability of mature enough package within time frame that allows for integration, (c) possible reuse of DAF states and actions for the upcoming statistical DM by UOXF (this is post November work).
