However, there are many people who present disabilities that prevent communication through natural language. Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems, including those based on pictograms, attempt to facilitate the communication for people with this kind of difficulties. In this paper we present PictoEditor, an Augmentative and Alternative Communication application for the composition of pictogram messages for users with autism that incorporates prediction functionalities. Although such functionalities have been widely studied in text-based Augmentative and Alternative Communication tools, they have not been applied to pictogram based ones. The results show that prediction based on frequency of use of specific pictograms improves the immediate availability of the desired pictograms, but the improvement with prediction based on sequencing of pseudo-syntactic types of pictogram is not as clear.}, doi = {10.1007/s12652-020-01925-z}, author = {Herv{\'a}s, Raquel and Bautista, Susana and Gonzalo M{\'e}ndez and Paloma Galv{\'a}n and Pablo Gerv{\'a}s} } @conference {751, title = {Expert-based Assessment of an Augmentative and Alternative Communication Tool}, booktitle = {XX International Conference on Human Computer Interaction (Interacci{\'o}n 2019)}, year = {2019}, publisher = {ACM Digital Library}, organization = {ACM Digital Library}, address = {Donostia, Gipuzkoa, Spain}, doi = {doi.org/10.1145/3335595.3335631}, url = {https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=3335631}, attachments = {http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/sites/default/files/a23-guasch.pdf}, author = {Daniel Guasch and Israel Mart{\'\i}n-Escalona and Jos{\'e} A.

Theaim of this methodology is not to design for a broad group of users, butto design highly customizable tools so that they can be easily adaptedto specific situations and small user groups. We also present two applications developed using MeDeC@ in order to test its suitability: Emo-Traductor, a web application for emotion recognition for people withAsperger Syndrome, and ReadIt, a web browser plug-in to help peoplewith ASD with written language understanding difficulties to navigatethe Internet.

However, a review of the existing literature shows that the automatic generation of people descriptions has not received much attention. Our work focuses on the description of people in snapshots from a 3D environment. First, we have conducted a survey to identify the way in which people describe other people under different conditions. We have used the information extracted from this survey to design several Referring Expression Generation algorithms which produce similar results. We have evaluated these algorithms with users in order to identify which ones generate the best description for specific characters in different situations. The evaluation has shown that, in order to generate good descriptions, a combination of different algorithms has to be used depending on the features and situation of the person to be described.}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.18653/v1/W17-3507}, url = {https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W17-3507}, attachments = {http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/sites/default/files/inlg17_v1_0.pdf}, author = {Gonzalo M{\'e}ndez and Herv{\'a}s, Raquel and Bautista, Susana and Adri{\'a}n Rabad{\'a}n and Teresa Rodr{\'\i}guez-Ferreira} } @conference {637, title = {Accesibility-driven cooking system}, booktitle = {ICCBR}, year = {2016}, month = {11/2016}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-47096-2_4}, attachments = {http://nil.fdi.ucm.es/sites/default/files/BautistaDiaz.pdf}, author = {Bautista, Susana and D{\'\i}az-Agudo, Bel{\'e}n} } @conference {622, title = {Automatic Simplification of Numerical Expressions using Fuzzy Logic}, booktitle = {XVIII Congreso Espa{\~n}ol sobre Tecnolog{\'\i}as y L{\'o}gica Fuzzy.
