´Auto-Presentation´: a multi-agent system for building automatic multi-modal presentation of a topic from World Wide Web information

The system, ´Auto-Presentation´, builds a presentation automatically by parsing, summarizing and correlating information collected from the Internet based knowledge sources after receiving the presentation topic from the user. The system, with the help of a group of character based software-agents, presents the topic verbally with accompanied slides and different gestures. The paper provides brief introduction and describes the architecture and explains different components of ´Auto-Presentation´. We describe necessary algorithms. The paper depicts some test results and evaluations.
