FIRE is a multimodal interface for
information retrieval deployed in the Intelligent Room at the MIT AI
Lab. FIRE extracts all the category terms related to the search query
and uses entropy to generate questions that would quickly allow the
user to disambiguate her query and arrive at a small set of relevant
documents. FIRE presents information over several large displays in
the Intelligent Room and supports both speech and gesture input for
more natural interaction.
