abstract = {The Dragon Drive Innovation Showcase (DD-ISC) is a demonstration
platform used by Nuance Automotive to display the latest of its automotive assistant
innovations. It feeds into Dragon Drive, Nuance’s automotive platform that uses
artificial intelligence to bring conversational personal assistants to over 200 million
vehicles on the road today across more than 40 languages. DD-ISC combines a wide
range of cutting-edge features under one hood, many of which are still in prototype
stage and will typically reach market readiness in one to three years. A strong focus of
DD-ISC is highlighting to the industry and broader public the contributions that new
artificial intelligence and multi-modal technologies can bring to the advancement of
the state of the art in intelligent personal assistants. Some of these technologies are:
Personalization, which uses machine learning to model the preferences of individual
users; Contextual Reasoning, which considers the current situation along with general
world knowledge when making recommendations; Voice Biometrics, which identifies
the speaker using voice "fingerprinting"; Always-On Listening, which removes the
need for a push-to-talk button or a wake-up word; and Gaze Detection, which tracks
the user’s line of sight. In this paper we describe these technologies and how each
plays its part in realizing a truly intelligent automotive assistant for drivers and
passengers alike.},
