- 2nd CALL FOR PAPERS -
Workshop FROM SENSORY TO SOCIAL PRESENCE: TECHNIQUES AND ARCHITECTURES
FOR INTELLIGENT INTERFACES
http://www.techfak.uni-bielefeld.de/~marcl/KI2005/ki2005ws.shtml
September 11, Koblenz, Germany
In conjunction with the 28th German Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (KI2005) <http://ki2005.uni-koblenz.de/>
TOPIC
Advances in AI technology such as natural language processing, dialogue
modeling, multimodal interfaces, and embodied agents increasingly enable
the development of intelligent interfaces that combine various modes of
communication to achieve the interaction suited best to the situational
context and the specific task. For such a communication to be successful
and truly bidirectional, a firm perceptual coupling between the
communicating partners is one prerequisite. Nowadays, the user can
sometimes employ a number of modalities to communicate her intentions to
the system, e.g., using direct manipulation, textual, spoken, or
multimodal input. Systems are also beginning to exploit additional
sensory channels to perceive as completely as possible the presence of
the user, e.g., using techniques of emotion recognition. In turn, the
system is present to the user by generating responses that shall
indicate the state of the system and the task, often conveyed in ways
symmetrical to the input modalities (textual, verbal, graphical,
haptical, etc.), and often subject to considerable interpretation by the
user. One way to maximize and straighten this perceptual coupling can be
to literally embed the user in an environment suitably equipped for
two-way perception purposes, e.g., in immersive VR environments or smart
rooms. Beyond mutual sensory presence, the coupling between the user and
a technical system can even be extended to levels of social presence.
That is, systems can recognize and account for the user's mental states,
like beliefs, goals, intentions, emotional states, etc., and they can
create the impression of having such cognitive capabilities themselves.
This workshop wishes to address the questions related to the
development, application and evaluation of models and methods that help
to achieve such close, symmetrical couplings on various levels of
presence, with a focus on techniques and architectures for realizing and
integrating these methods in interactive systems. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- Models and techniques for processing multimodal user input (speech,
gesture, movement, facial expression, haptics, etc.)
- Models and techniques for generating multimodal system output
- Symmetry and synergy between input processing and output generation
- Levels and symmetry of presence in human-computer interaction
- Models and techniques for creating and maintaining social presence,
benefits and dangers of socially present systems
- Models and techniques for emotion and personality in interactive systems
- Evaluation of interactive systems, e.g., user impression of the
systems' capabilities and limitations
- Architectures for complex interactive systems
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will be full-day and will be built around presentations of
submitted papers. Presentations are 20 minutes, followed by a 10 minute
discussion period. Also, there will be a longer discussion period at the
end of the day.
PUBLICATION
The workshop proceedings will be published as Technical Report of the
University of Koblenz-Landau. The organizers plan to publish extended
versions of selected papers as a subsequent, peer-reviewed publication,
if possible as special issue of a pertinent journal.
DATES
June 10: Deadline for paper submissions
July 18: Authors' notification of acceptance
August 12: Deadline for camera ready copies for the workshop proceedings
September 11 : Workshop
