1. A human computer interface (HCI), comprising:
- a set of parsers that respectively parse information received from a plurality of sources; and
a discourse manager that analyzes and synthesizes a subset of the parsed information to identify correlations there among, and the discourse manager employs the identified correlations in connection with determining or inferring user intent associated with the received information.

Abstract
A multi-modal human computer interface (HCI) receives a plurality of available information inputs concurrently, or serially, and employs a subset of the inputs to determine or infer user intent with respect to a communication or information goal. Received inputs are respectively parsed, and the parsed inputs are analyzed and optionally synthesized with respect to one or more of each other. In the event sufficient information is not available to determine user intent or goal, feedback can be provided to the user in order to facilitate clarifying, confirming, or augmenting the information inputs.

13. A method that facilitates determining a user informational input or retrieval goal, comprising:
-
receiving inputs from at least three input sources; parsing the respective inputs; analyzing inputs from the at least three input sources; inferring, or determining user intent from the analysis; and providing the user with feedback in connection with confirming user intent, or requesting additional input. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
