Research abstract
The project explores the feasibility of building Tiresias, a model-directed system empowering persons with visual impairments to conduct web transactions such as purchasing goods and paying utility bills online using non-visual modalities. Tiresias addresses current information overload problems by delivering relevant content through the coupling of content semantics with model-directed navigation. Content is identified using techniques ranging from simple keywords to sophisticated concept classifiers.
