3-3-46 (2020-07-11) ROBOTDIAL Workshop 2020, Yokohama, Japan (UPDATED)
  

ROBOTDIAL Workshop 2020
Robot Dialogues - Dialogue Models for Human-Robot Interaction

CALL FOR PAPERS:

http://sap.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ijcai2020/robotdial/

In conjunction with IJCAI 2020, Yokohama, Japan

COVID 19 update: IJCAI-PRICAI-2020 will take place in some form, and papers accepted to IJCAI-PRICAI will be published in the proceedings.

==== Important Dates ====
Title and abstract deadline: April 20
Final submission deadline: April 27
Author notification: May 22
Camera ready due: June 3
Worskhop day: July 11-13 (actual date to be determined later)

Authors should submit their paper title and abstracts by April 20 and can
revise their paper up until the final submission deadline on April 27.
Paper submission is through EasyChair and use the paper format for
IJCAI. Short papers are a maximum of 4 pages and long papers are a maximum
of 8 pages, excluding references. At the workshop, we will discuss the possibility
of editing a special issue of a journal based on the presented papers.


==== Overview ====

Large communities in AI, robotics and interaction technology already work
on spoken language-based human-robot interaction. Their different starting
points and assumptions call for discussions, exchange of ideas and more
integrated approaches to implementations and modelling of spoken dialogues
on robot platforms.

This one-day workshop offers a platform for researchers to discuss and
elaborate their views at the intersection of AI, robotics and spoken
dialogue modelling. Sophisticated interaction models and implementations
are critical in this endeavour but are not often explicitly addressed.
Dialogue modelling and dialogue system implementations, on their part, are
often developed without sufficiently considering how the models could be
used in an embodied robotic system which also interacts with the
environment. The workshop offers a platform for discussions concerning
appropriate architectures and representations, in order to build a joint
understanding of the aspects and features that address the pertinent
questions in the multidisciplinary field of robot dialogues.

We invite submissions for this workshop based on (but not limited to) the
following topics:

- models of human-robot interactions and dialogue
- multimodal human-robot dialogue
- non-verbal communication in human-robot dialogue
- language modeling for robot interactions
- robots and unstructured conversation
- user studies with human-robot dialogue
- paralinguistics for robot interaction
- cognitive architectures for spoken dialogues
- representations for interaction and dialogue modelling

Looking forward to seeing you in Yokohama!
