FIGURE 3 General structure of a GNetIc decision network. Gesture production choices are considered either probabilistically (chance nodes drawn as ovals) or rule-based (decision nodes drawn as rectangles). Each choice depends on a number of contextual variables. The links are either learned from corpus data (dotted lines) or defined in a set of if-then rules (solid lines).
