**** Workshop on Affective Social Speech Signals **** WASSS’2013 Grenoble 22-23 august 2013 1st call for papers
a satellite of Interspeech 2013 http://www.interspeech2013.org/ The WASSSS workshop will take place at the University of Grenoble, approximately 1.5 hour by train, bus or car from Lyon. It will be held over 2 days: the Thursday and Friday before Interspeech.).
This workshop will provide a meeting place for the different communities interested into why, how and when speech is used by humans for signalling socio-affective functions. It will be dedicated to building interdisciplinary research and cross-fertilization between the different scientific communities All areas related to human communication are concerned: language and speech computing, robotics or virtual agents, as well as linguistics, phonetics, pragmatics, didactics, sociology, psychology, neuropsychology, ethology, biology, etc. The organisation of affect is complex – from low-level emotion automatic or reflexive processing to higher cognitive levels , culture-dependent, language-organized, controlled processing. Speech can signal some very rich social and emotional cues, reflecting personality, social role, the cultural/language specificities in all human interactions and more broadly in human communication. This workshop will be especially the place where “social emotions” will be debated from different points of view, with different meanings depending on the domain.
--- The intended contributions can be related, but not limited to:
- social emotions, social affect: theories or models, how and why signalled - social affect signals (e.g. expressions of automatic emotions and more social emotions, attitudes, intentions, mental states, cognitive processing, feelings...): corpus, description, annotation, etc - the cultural contrast of affective social speech - psychological/neuropsychological models and cues for social affect processing - social and anthropological models for analysing affective processing and emotions expressions - social affect in Human Machine Interaction and dialog - multimodality of the social signals in face to face speech interactions - the place of social speech affect in L2 learning - the challenge of social signals for robots and embodied virtual agents - social affect in speech technologies: speech synthesis, recognition or translation - speech social affect within personality, social rule and culture - lexicon of social affect in speech - sentiment analysis/opinion mining in speech - etc
