| Abstract | We are investigating question-answering systems for different applications within consumer health, including health promotion and health information attainment. Our work focuses on the interaction environment afforded by text and multimedia (SMS and MMS) messaging because of the growing popularity of text messaging and because of the prevalence of devices that support it. The development of content for messaging may also better serve populations with diverse cognitive competencies, as the shorter blocks of text that are required for messaging may be easier for readers to process, especially if they have deficits in memory or vision. One of the challenges of this work is to provide an architecture that will allow our partners in public health and medicine to review or contribute to the domain content and that will allow us to use that content to drive a dialog engine, with little or no manual intervention. In this paper, we describe how we have adapted the TuTalk dialog system to create a new messaging-based question-answering system to promote healthy birth outcomes among low-income, expectant women in Milwaukee. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
