========================================
The INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SPOKEN DIALOGUE SYSTEMS
TECHNOLOGY (IWSDS) 2019 invites paper submissions in any
topic related to the main conference theme 'Increasing
naturalness and flexibility in spoken dialogue
interaction:'
* Dialogue systems and reasoning
* Machine learning methods for spoken dialogue systems
* Multi-party and multi-lingual dialogue systems
* Open and multi domain systems
* Engagement and emotion in human-robot interactions
* Spoken dialog systems for low-resource languages
* Big data and large scale spoken dialogue systems
* Domain Transfer and adaptation techniques for spoken
dialog systems
* Spoken dialogue systems applications
* Connecting spoken dialogue systems to global AI
* Personalized conversational agents
* Human-Robot dialogue systems
* Resources for creating dialogue systems
* Multimodal dialogue systems
* Reasoning and Q&A through dialogue interactions
However, submissions are not limited to these topics, and
submission of papers in all areas of spoken dialogue
systems is encouraged. We particularly welcome papers that
can be illustrated by a demonstration, and will organize
the conference in order to best accommodate these papers,
whatever their category.
As usual, a selection of accepted papers will be published
in a book by Springer following the conference (Springer
LNEE series, SCOPUS and other important indexes).
Authors are requested to submit PDF files of their
manuscripts using the paper submission system:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=iwsds2019
We distinguish between the following categories of
submissions:
* Long Research Papers are reserved for reports on mature
research results. The expected length of a long paper
should be in the range of 8-12 pages, including
references.
* Short Research Papers should be in the range of 4-6
pages, including references. Authors may choose this
category if they wish to report on smaller case studies or
ongoing but interesting and original research efforts.
* Position Papers deal with novel research ideas or
view-points which describe trends or fruitful starting
points for future research and elicit discussion and are
not much researched. They should be 2 pages long,
excluding references.
* Demo Submissions - System Papers: Authors who wish to
demonstrate their system may choose this category and
provide a description of their system and demo. System
papers should not exceed 6 pages in total.
IWSDS 2019 requires that all authors wishing to present a
paper take into account:
* The paper is substantially original and will not be
submitted to any other conference or journal during the
IWSDS 2019 review period.
* The paper does not contain any plagiarism.
* The paper will be presented by one of the authors
in-person at the conference site according to the schedule
published. Any paper accepted in the technical program,
but not presented on-site will be withdrawn from the
official conference proceedings.
