24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction

https://icmi.acm.org/2022/
7-11 Nov 2022, Bengaluru, India
*********************************************************************

CALL FOR DEMONSTRATION AND EXHIBIT PAPERS

We invite you to submit your proposals for demonstrations and exhibits to be held during the 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2022), located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, November 7-11th, 2022. This year’s conference theme is “Intelligent and responsible Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) in the multi-lingual real world”.

The ICMI 2022 Demonstrations & Exhibits session is intended to provide a forum to showcase innovative implementations, systems and technologies demonstrating new ideas about interactive multimodal interfaces. It can also serve as a platform to introduce commercial products. Proposals may be of two types: demonstrations or exhibits. The main difference is that demonstrations include a 2-3 page paper in one column, which will be included in the ICMI main proceedings, while the exhibits only need to include a brief outline (no more than two pages in one column; not included in ICMI proceedings). We encourage both the submission of early research prototypes and interesting mature systems. In addition, authors of accepted regular research papers may be invited to participate in the demonstration sessions as well.

Demonstration Submission

Please submit a 2-3 page description of the demonstration in a single column format through the main ICMI conference management system (https://new.precisionconference.com/sigchi). Demonstration description(s) must be in PDF format, according to the ACM conference format, of no more than 3 pages in a single column format including references. For instructions and links to the templates, please see the Guidelines for Authors.

Demonstration proposals should include a description with photographs and/or screen captures of the demonstration. Demonstration submissions should be accompanied by a video of the proposed demo (no larger than 200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in PowerPoint format.

The demo and exhibit paper submissions are not anonymous. However, all ACM rules and guidelines related to paper submission should be followed (e.g. plagiarism, including self-plagiarism).

The demonstration submissions will be peer reviewed, according to the following criteria: suitability as a demo, scientific or engineering feasibility of the proposed demo system, application, or interactivity, alignment with the conference focus, potential to engage the audience, and overall quality and presentation of the written proposal. Authors are encouraged to address such criteria in their proposals, along with preparing the papers mindful of the quality and rigorous scientific expectations of an ACM publication.

The demo program will include the accepted proposals and may additionally include invited demos from among regular papers accepted for presentation at the conference. Please note that the accepted demos will be included in the ICMI main proceedings.

Exhibit Submission

Exhibit proposals should be submitted following the same guidelines, formatting, and due dates as for demonstration proposals. Exhibit proposals must be shorter in length (up to two pages), and are more suitable for showcasing mature systems. Like demos, submissions for exhibits should be accompanied by a video (no larger than 200MB), which can include a set of slides (no more than 10 slides) in PowerPoint format. Exhibits will not have a paper published in the ICMI 2022 proceedings.

Facilities

Once accepted, demonstrators and video presenters will be provided with a table, poster board, power outlet and wireless (shared) Internet. Demo and video presenters are expected to bring with them everything else needed for their demo and video presentations, such as hardware, laptops, sensors, PCs, etc. However, if you have special requests such as a larger space, special lighting conditions and so on, we will do our best to arrange them.

Important note for the authors: The official publication date is the date the proceedings are made available in the ACM Digital Library. This date may be up to two weeks prior to the first day of the conference. The official publication date affects the deadline for any patent filings related to published work.

Attendance

At least one author of all accepted Demonstrations and Exhibits submissions must register for and attend the conference, including the conference demonstrations and exhibits session(s).

Important Dates

For the latest information re: author guidelines, important dates, facilities, attendance requirements, etc., please see https://icmi.acm.org/2022/call-for-demonstrations-and-exhibits/.

For any further questions, contact the Demonstrations and Exhibits co-chairs: Dan Bohus and Ramanathan Subramanian (icmi2022-demo-chairs@acm.org).

International Workshop on “Voice Assistant Systems in Team Interactions ‒ Implications, Best Practice, Applications, and Future Perspectives”
VASTI 2022

co-located with the ICMI 2022

https://vasti2022.mobileds.de/

Scope
The workshop is encouraging an interdisciplinary exchange of researchers focussing on multimodal interactions in the wide range of group research aspects, linguistic and acoustic perspectives, as well as dialogue management in relation to speech based systems, e.g. voice  assistants. Regarding the mentioned research communities, the interdisciplinary collaboration between these research communities is currently rather loose. Therefore, the workshop aims on bridging the three research communities based on shared interests and provides a platform for detailed discussions.

Generally, human beings are usually interactive and socially engaged, often communicating in either dyads or groups. During such interactions, each communication partner (human or technical) is providing a variety of information, including general information/content, as well as personal and relational information. These communication aspects are in the focus of group interactions or multi-party interactions. In social sciences, areas such as investigating interpersonal relationships of the group members and the dynamics of group interaction, cohesion, and performance, are observed. These aspects are nowadays also considered in computer sciences and linguistics using automatic analyses. Unfortunately, these communities have started to collaborate only recently. In this sense, the workshop aims to strengthen these collaborations.

However, especially the advent of voice assistants and the increased distributions provide an optimal testbed to combine the three communities and encourage interdisciplinary discussions highlighting contributions from each research perspective. Especially, since at a certain level of development, current voice assistance systems seem to set the expectation of human-like linguistic flexibility and complexity, which is disproportionate to the actual skills of the artificial agent. To enable future technical systems to act as a conversational partner and act naturally in group or dyadic multimodal interactions, it is necessary to combine knowledge and research approaches on the fundamental mechanisms of human speech perception and speech production from a cognitive, psycholinguistic point of view as well as insights from interactional linguistics, discourse analysis and sociolinguistics with phonetics, phonology and prosody in the context of spoken interaction with machines. This should be further combined with aspects of dialogue management and social signal processing to allow a holistic consideration of the users and using groups.

CALL FOR PAPERS: SIVA'23
Workshop on Socially Interactive Human-like Virtual Agents
From expressive and context-aware multimodal generation of digital humans to understanding the social cognition of real humans

Submission (to be openened July, 22 2022):  https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SIVA2023
SIVA'23 workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://www.stms-lab.fr/agenda/siva/detail/
FG 2023 conference: January 4-8 2023, Waikoloa, Hawaii, https://fg2023.ieee-biometrics.org/

OVERVIEW

Due to the rapid growth of virtual, augmented, and hybrid reality together with spectacular advances in artificial intelligence, the ultra-realistic generation and animation of digital humans with human-like behaviors is becoming a massive topic of interest. This complex endeavor requires modeling several elements of human behavior including the natural coordination of multimodal behaviors including text, speech, face, and body, plus the contextualization of behavior in response to interlocutors of different cultures and motivations. Thus, challenges in this topic are two folds—the generation and animation of coherent multimodal behaviors, and modeling the expressivity and contextualization of the virtual agent with respect to human behavior, plus understanding and modeling virtual agent behavior adaptation to increase human’s engagement. The aim of this workshop is to connect traditionally distinct communities (e.g., speech, vision, cognitive neurosciences, social psychology) to elaborate and discuss the future of human interaction with human-like virtual agents. We expect contributions from the fields of signal processing, speech and vision, machine learning and artificial intelligence, perceptual studies, and cognitive and neuroscience. Topics will range from multimodal generative modeling of virtual agent behaviors, and speech-to-face and posture 2D and 3D animation, to original research topics including style, expressivity, and context-aware animation of virtual agents. Moreover, the availability of controllable real-time virtual agent models can be used as state-of-the-art experimental stimuli and confederates to design novel, groundbreaking experiments to advance understanding of social cognition in humans. Finally, these virtual humans can be used to create virtual environments for medical purposes including rehabilitation and training.

SCOPE

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

+ Analysis of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Analyzing and understanding of human multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Creating datasets for the study and modeling of human multimodal behavior
- Coordination and synchronization of human multimodal behavior
- Analysis of style and expressivity in human multimodal behavior
- Cultural variability of social multimodal behavior

+ Modeling and Generation of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Multimodal generation of human-like behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Face and gesture generation driven by text and speech
- Context-aware generation of multimodal human-like behavior
- Modeling of style and expressivity for the generation of multimodal behavior
- Modeling paralinguistic cues for multimodal behavior generation
- Few-shots or zero-shot transfer of style and expressivity
- Slightly-supervised adaptation of multimodal behavior to context

+ Psychology and Cognition of of Multimodal Human-like Behavior
- Cognition of deep fakes and ultra-realistic digital manipulation of human-like behavior
- Social agents/robots as tools for capturing, measuring and understanding multimodal behavior (speech, gesture, face)
- Neuroscience and social cognition of real humans using virtual agents and physical robots
