Globuddy: A Tool for Travelers

Rami Musa, Andrea Kulas, Yoan Anguilete, Madleina Scheidegger

 

Globuddy is a common sense based application that assists English speaking travelers in communicating in a foreign language. In addition to translating text, Globuddy provides relevant words and phrases for the situation in which the traveler is. Common sense reasoning is done with OMCSNet, a semantic network representation of the Open Mind knowledge. GloBuddy could be easily adapted for use on handheld devices, making it a valuable tool for travelers in foreign countries.
