> Résumé
> Speech and language science evolved under the assumption that speech 
> was a solely auditory event. However, a burgeoning record of research 
> findings reveals that our perception and understanding are influenced 
> by a speaker's face and accompanying gestures, as well as the actual 
> sound of the speech. Perceivers expertly use these multiple sources of 
> information to identify and interpret the language input. This 
> behavior is accurately by our Fuzzy Logical Model of Perception. Given 
> the value of face-to-face interaction, our persistent goal has been to 
> develop, evaluate, and apply animated agents to produce realistic and 
> accurate speech. Baldi is an accurate three-dimensional animated 
> talking head appropriately aligned with either synthesized or natural 
> speech. Baldi has a tongue and palate, which can be displayed by 
> making his skin transparent. Based on this research and technology, we 
> have implemented computer-assisted speech and language tutors for hard 
> of hearing and autistic children. Our language-training program 
> utilizes Baldi as the conversational agent, who guides students 
> through a variety of exercises designed to teach vocabulary and 
> grammar, to improve speech articulation, and to develop linguistic and 
> phonological awareness. Some of the advantages of the Baldi pedagogy 
> and technology include the popularity and effectiveness of computers 
> and embodied conversational agents, the perpetual availability of the 
> program, and individualized instruction. The science and technology of 
> Baldi holds great promise in language learning, dialog, human-machine 
> interaction, and education.
