Locuaz is an artificial brain especially designed to emulate human intelligence and naturalness, as well as for maintaining intelligent dialogues. Locuaz processes the user’s input, either through the speech recognizer or directly through text. This process implies deep semantic and syntactic analyses as well as the integration of this information with the context, dialogue history, the application's domain and customer’s guidelines. With all this information Locuaz determines which is the most intelligent action to perform:
- Generating a Natural Language response
- Requesting further information
- Seeking the information in external sources
- Executing specific tasks or actions
In order to understand Locuaz's functionality and its relevance within the set of human-machine interfaces, it may be helpful to compare these with the different components of the human head:
