Pattern Recognition: Computers and Human Communications A computer's ability to track and interpret the types of input humans use to communicate - gestures, words and facial expressions - is not enough. Meaning is often conveyed by a combination of different types of sensory input. Words and gestures, for example, can go together to produce meaning that cannot be determined from simply examining the inputs separately. |
