Assistive Computing: AI Response Generation and Brain-Computer Interface

The Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT) is an open-source software platform developed by Intel Labs that enables people with motor neuron disease to communicate through keyboard simulation, text prediction, and speech synthesis. The recent release of version 2.0 of ACAT features a brain-computer interface to enable fully locked-in users to communicate. The release also includes fine-tuned language modeling capabilities for AAC usages to enable personalized sentence completion and efficient typing modes for fast communication. The system is optimized for client devices, and the user interface has been completely redesigned for ease of use. This demo will showcase all the features of ACAT, including the Brain-Computer Interface and the new text prediction capabilities.
