M-PIRO: A Revolutionary System for Personalized Museum Experience

Title: M-PIRO: A Revolutionary System for Personalized Museum Experience

Research Question: How can technology be used to enhance the museum experience by generating personalized, multilingual descriptions of exhibits?

Methodology: The M-PIRO project uses natural language generation, user modeling, and speech synthesis techniques to create an innovative system. It stores information in a language-independent database and generates descriptions tailored to the visitor's language, age, and level of expertise. An authoring tool allows museum curators to update the system and control the content of the descriptions.

Results: The project has developed a Web-based demonstrator available in English, Greek, and Italian. It generates descriptions that adapt to the visitor's needs, taking into account their previous interactions and the order in which they view the exhibits. This allows for a more engaging and informative museum experience.

Implications: The M-PIRO project has the potential to revolutionize the way museums present their collections. By generating personalized descriptions in multiple languages, it can make museums more accessible to a global audience, enhance visitor engagement, and promote lifelong learning. Furthermore, the technology can be applied to other fields, such as education and tourism, to create tailored content for different audiences.
