Inclusive and Fair Speech Technologies
Special Session at Interspeech 2022
https://sites.google.com/view/fair-speech-interspeech22/

September 18 - 22, 2022
Incheon, South Korea

______________

Automatic speech recognition systems have dramatically improved over the past decade thanks to the advances brought by deep learning and the effort on large-scale data collection. For some groups of people, however, speech technology works less well, maybe because their speech patterns differ significantly from the standard dialect (e.g., because of regional accent), because of intra-group heterogeneity (e.g., speakers of regional African American dialects; second-language learners; and other demographic aspects such as age, gender, or race), or because the speech pattern of each individual in the group exhibits a large variability (e.g., people with severe disabilities).

The goal of this special session is (1) to discuss these biases and propose methods for making speech technologies more useful to heterogeneous populations and (2) to increase academic and industry collaborations to reach these goals.

Such methods include:
  • analysis of performance biases among different social/linguistic groups in speech technology,
  • new methods to mitigate these differences,
  • new approaches for data collection, curation and coding,
  • new algorithmic training criteria,
  • new methods for envisioning speech technology task descriptions and design criteria.
Moreover, the special session aims to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration between fairness and personalization research, which has the potential to both improve customer experiences and algorithm fairness. The special session will bring experts from both fields to advance the cross-disciplinary study between fairness and personalization, e.g., fairness-aware personalization.

Given the ubiquity of Machine Learning (ML) systems and their relevance in daily lives, it is important to ensure private and safe handling of data alongside equity in human experience. These considerations have gained considerable interest in recent times under the realm of Trustworthy ML. Speech processing in particular presents a unique set of challenges, given the rich information carried in linguistic and paralinguistic content including speaker trait, interaction and state characteristics. This special session on Trustworthy Speech Processing (TSP) was created to bring together new and experienced researchers working on trustworthy ML and speech processing.

 

We invite novel and relevant submissions from both academic and industrial research groups showcasing theoretical and empirical advancements in TSP. Topics of interest cover a variety of papers centered on speech processing, including (but not limited to):

 

* Differential privacy

* Federated learning

* Ethics in speech processing

* Model interpretability

* Quantifying & mitigating bias in speech processing

* New datasets, frameworks and benchmarks for TSP

* Discovery and defense against emerging privacy attacks

* Trustworthy ML in applications of speech processing like ASR

3-3-4(2022-09-18) CfP Spoofing-Aware Speaker Verification Challenge, Incheon, Korea
We are thrilled to announce the Spoofing-Aware Speaker Verification Challenge. While spoofing countermeasures, promoted within the sphere of the ASVspoof challenge series, can help to protect reliability in the face of spoofing, they have been developed as independent subsystems for a fixed  ASV subsystem. Better performance can be expected when countermeasures and ASV subsystems are both optimised to operate in tandem.
 
The first Spoofing-Aware Speaker Verification (SASV) 2022 challenge aims to encourage the development of original solutions involving, but not limited to:
 
- back-end fusion of pre-trained automatic speaker verification and pre-trained audio spoofing countermeasure subsystems;
- integrated spoofing-aware automatic speaker verification systems that have the capacity to reject both non-target and spoofed trials.
 
We warmly invite the submission of general contributions in this direction. The Interspeech 2022 Spoofing-Aware Automatic Speaker Verification special session also incorporates a challenge ? SASV 2022. Participants are encouraged to evaluate their solutions using the SASV benchmarking framework which comprises a common database, protocol, and evaluation metric. Further details and resources can be found on the SASV challenge website.
 
 
Schedule:
 -January 19, 2022: Release of the evaluation plan

- March 10, 2022: Results submission
- March 14, 2022: Release of participant ranks
- March 21, 2022: INTERSPEECH Paper submission deadline
- March 28, 2022: INTERSPEECH Paper update deadline
- June 13, 2022: INTERSPEECH Author notification

3-3-8(2022-10-12) French Cross-Domain Dialect Identification (FDI) task @VarDial2022, Gyeongju, South Korea
We are organizing the French Cross-Domain Dialect Identification (FDI) task @VarDial2022.
 

In the 2022 French Dialect Identification (FDI) shared task, participants have to train a model on news samples collected from a set of publication sources and evaluate it on news samples collected from a different set of publication sources. Not only the sources are different, but also the topics. Therefore, participants have to build a model for a cross-domain 4-way classification by dialect task, in which a classification model is required to discriminate between the French (FH), Swiss (CH), Belgian (BE) and Canadian (CA) dialects across different news samples. The corpus is divided into training, validation and test, such that the publication sources and topics are distinct across splits. The training set contains 358,787 samples. The development set is composed of 18,002 samples. Another set of 36,733 samples are kept for the final evaluation.

Important Dates:
- Training set release: May 20, 2022
- Test set release: June 30, 2022
- Submissions due: July 6, 2022

3-3-10(2022-10-19) CfP Journée scientifique 'Accès à l'information', IRISAQ, Rennes,France

Dans le cadre du GdR CNRS Traitement automatique des langues (GdR TAL), l’IRISA organise une journée scientifique sur le thème de « l’accès à l’information » le 19 octobre 2022 à Rennes. La journée sera organisée autour de plusieurs présentations orales invitées et de présentations posters et de démos (cf. appel ci-dessous).

 

Thèmes

 

La numérisation de la société a censément facilité l’accès aux informations, que ce soit pour le grand public (savoir encyclopédique, actualités…) ou dans des domaines de spécialité (p. ex. littérature scientifique).

Cependant, face à l’avalanche de documents, de sites web, de sources, etc., de nombreuses questions pratiques émergent, qui sont autant de défis scientifiques pour les domaines de la recherche d’information, du traitement de la langue et de la parole :

  • Comment trouver les documents ou passages permettant de répondre à un besoin spécifique d’informations ?

  • Comment extraire des informations spécifiques d’un ensemble de documents, des termes, des entités nommées ?

  • Comment faciliter l’interaction entre un utilisateur et une collection de documents, naviguer en son sein, développer des interfaces de visualisation ?

  • Comment résumer l'information ?
  • Comment exploiter efficacement la multimodalité, traiter des documents multilingues ou multimédias ?

  • Comment interfacer bases de connaissances et systèmes de TAL ?
  • Comment s’assurer de la fiabilité des sources et des informations extraites, comment caractériser leurs biais ?

  • ...

 

Appel à poster et démos

 

Dans le cadre de cette journée, nous invitons les chercheuses et chercheurs, travaillant sur ces thèmes dans un cadre académique ou industriel à présenter (démo ou poster) leurs travaux, même déjà publiés, pour échanger avec des collègues du domaine. Pour cela, il suffit de soumettre un résumé d’une page maximum, et/ou le poster s’il est déjà existant, et/ou l’article décrivant les travaux si déjà publié, en français ou en anglais, https://gdr-tal-rennes.sciencesconf.org .

3-3-11(2022-11-07) 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2022), Bengaluru (Bangalore), India

 

CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS
 
We invite you to submit your papers to the late-breaking results track of the 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2022), located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, November 7-11th, 2022. 

Based on the success of the LBR in the past ICMI 18-21, the ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) 2022 continues soliciting submissions for the special venue titled Late-Breaking Results (LBR). The goal of the LBR venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the new Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues.
  • Highlights 
    • Submission deadline: August 12th, 2022
    • Notifications: September 9th, 2022
    • Camera-ready deadline: September 16th, 2022
    • Conference Dates: November 7-11, 2022
    • Submission format: Anonymized, short paper (seven-page paper in a single column format, not including references), 
    • following the submission guidelines.
    • Selection process: Peer-Reviewed
    • Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session
    • Proceedings: Included in Adjunct Proceedings and ACM Digital Library
    • LBR Co-chairs: Fabien Ringeval and Nikita Soni
Late-Breaking Work (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting-edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track.

 

Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR (posters) track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field.
Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are “significant” revisions from the original, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies.
Extended Abstract: An anonymized short paper, seven-page paper in a single column format, not including references. The instructions and templates are on the following link: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the “Late-Breaking Results” track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version and no deadline extensions can be granted.
Anonymization: Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, we recommend that authors obscure references to their own prior work by referring to it in the third person during submission. If desired, after acceptance, such references can be changed to first-person.
LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it “fits” the LBR track (e.g., in-progress results). More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring some measurable breakthroughs compared to the state-of-the-art of the field.
Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be available later on and given on the main page of the website.
For more information and updates on the ICMI 2022 Late-Breaking Results (LBR), visit the LBR page of the main conference website: https://icmi.acm.org/2022/index.php?id=cflbr.

3-3-12(2022-11-07) Doctoral Consortium at ICMI- Call for Contributions

Doctoral Consortium - Call for Contributions 

The goal of the ICMI Doctoral Consortium (DC) is to provide PhD students with an opportunity to present their work to a group of mentors and peers from a diverse set of academic and industrial institutions, to receive feedback on their doctoral research plan and progress, and to build a cohort of young researchers interested in designing and developing multimodal interfaces and interaction. We invite students from all PhD granting institutions who are in the process of forming or carrying out a plan for their PhD research in the area of designing and developing multimodal interfaces. 

Who should apply? 

While we encourage applications from students at any stage of doctoral training, the doctoral consortium will benefit most the students who are in the process of forming or developing their doctoral research. These students will have passed their qualifiers or have completed the majority of their coursework, will be planning or developing their dissertation research, and will not be very close to completing their dissertation research. Students from any PhD granting institution whose research falls within designing and developing multimodal interfaces and interaction are encouraged to apply. 

Why should you attend? 

The DC provides an opportunity to build a social network that includes the cohort of DC students, senior students, recent graduates, and senior mentors. Not only is this an opportunity to get feedback on research directions, it is also an opportunity to learn more about the process and to understand what comes next. We aim to connect you with a mentor who will give specific feedback on your research. We specifically aim to create an informal setting where students feel supported in their professional development. 

Submission Guidelines 

Graduate students pursuing a PhD degree in a field related to designing multimodal interfaces should submit the following materials: 

  1. Extended Abstract: Please describe your PhD research plan and progress as a seven-page paper in a single column format. The instructions and templates are on the following link: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. Your extended abstract should follow the same outline, details, and format of the ICMI short papers. The submissions will not be anonymous. In particular, it should cover: 
    • The key research questions and motivation of your research; 
    • Background and related work that informs your research; 
    • A statement of hypotheses or a description of the scope of the technical problem; 
    • Your research plan, outlining stages of system development or series of studies; 
    • The research approach and methodology; 
    • Your results to date (if any) and a description of remaining work; 
    • A statement of research contributions to date (if any) and expected contributions of your PhD work; 
  1. Advisor Letter: A one-page letter of nomination from the student's PhD advisor. This letter is not a letter of support. Instead, it should focus on the student's PhD plan and how the Doctoral Consortium event might contribute to the student's PhD training and research. 
  2. CV: A two-page curriculum vitae of the student. 

All materials should be prepared in a single PDF format and submitted through the ICMI submission system.

Review Process 

The Doctoral Consortium will follow a review process in which submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including (1) the quality of the submission, (2) the expected benefits of the consortium for the student's PhD research, and (3) the student's contribution to the diversity of topics, backgrounds, and institutions, in order of importance. More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Finally, we hope to achieve a diversity of research topics, disciplinary backgrounds, methodological approaches, and home institutions in this year's Doctoral Consortium cohort. We do not expect more than two students to be invited from each institution to represent a diverse sample. Women and other underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.


Attendance 

All authors of accepted submissions are expected to attend the Doctoral Consortium and the main conference poster session. The attendees will present their work as a short talk or as a poster at the conference poster session. A detailed program for the Consortium and the participation guidelines will be available after the camera-ready deadline.

3-3-13(2022-11-07) International Workshop on “Voice Assistant Systems in Team Interactions ‒ Implications, Best Practice, Applications, and Future Perspectives” VASTI 2022 @ICMI 2022

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.

3-3-14(2022-11-07) Late-breaking results @24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2022), Bengaluru, India
CALL FOR LATE-BREAKING RESULTS
 
We invite you to submit your papers to the late-breaking results track of the 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2022), located in Bengaluru (Bangalore), India, November 7-11th, 2022. 

Based on the success of the LBR in the past ICMI 18-21, the ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI) 2022 continues soliciting submissions for the special venue titled Late-Breaking Results (LBR). The goal of the LBR venue is to provide a way for researchers to share emerging results at the conference. Accepted submissions will be presented in a poster session at the conference, and the extended abstract will be published in the new Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the main ICMI Proceedings. Like similar venues at other conferences, the LBR venue is intended to allow sharing of ideas, getting formative feedback on early-stage work, and furthering collaborations among colleagues.
  • Highlights 
    • Submission deadline: August 12th, 2022
    • Notifications: September 9th, 2022
    • Camera-ready deadline: September 16th, 2022
    • Conference Dates: November 7-11, 2022
    • Submission format: Anonymized, short paper (seven-page paper in a single column format, not including references), 
    • following the submission guidelines.
    • Selection process: Peer-Reviewed
    • Presentation format: Participation in the conference poster session
    • Proceedings: Included in Adjunct Proceedings and ACM Digital Library
    • LBR Co-chairs: Fabien Ringeval and Nikita Soni
Late-Breaking Work (LBR) submissions represent work such as preliminary results, provoking and current topics, novel experiences or interactions that may not have been fully validated yet, cutting-edge or emerging work that is still in exploratory stages, smaller-scale studies, or in general, work that has not yet reached a level of maturity expected for the full-length main track papers. However, LBR papers are still expected to bring a contribution to the ICMI community, commensurate with the preliminary, short, and quasi-informal nature of this track.

 

Accepted LBR papers will be presented as posters during the conference. This provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback on early-stage work, explore potential collaborations, and otherwise engage in exciting thought-provoking discussions about their work in an informal setting that is significantly less constrained than a paper presentation. The LBR (posters) track also offers those new to the ICMI community a chance to share their preliminary research as they become familiar with this field.
Late-Breaking Results papers appear in the Adjunct Proceedings (Companion Volume) of the ICMI Proceedings. Copyright is retained by the authors, and the material from these papers can be used as the basis for future publications as long as there are “significant” revisions from the original, as per the ACM and ACM SIGCHI policies.
Extended Abstract: An anonymized short paper, seven-page paper in a single column format, not including references. The instructions and templates are on the following link: https://www.acm.org/publications/taps/word-template-workflow. The paper should be submitted in PDF format and through the ICMI submission system in the “Late-Breaking Results” track. Due to the tight publication timeline, it is recommended that authors submit a very nearly finalized paper that is as close to camera-ready as possible, as there will be a very short timeframe for preparing the final camera-ready version and no deadline extensions can be granted.
Anonymization: Authors are instructed not to include author information in their submission. In order to help reviewers judge the situation of the LBR to prior work, authors should not remove or anonymize references to their own prior work. Instead, we recommend that authors obscure references to their own prior work by referring to it in the third person during submission. If desired, after acceptance, such references can be changed to first-person.
LBRs will be evaluated to the extent that they are presenting work still in progress, rather than complete work which is under-described in order to fit into the LBR format. The LBR track will undergo an external peer review process. Submissions will be evaluated by a number of factors including (1) the relevance of the work to ICMI, (2) the quality of the submission, and (3) the degree to which it “fits” the LBR track (e.g., in-progress results). More particularly, the quality of the submission will be evaluated based on the potential contributions of the research to the field of multimodal interfaces and its impact on the field and beyond. Authors should clearly justify how the proposed ideas can bring some measurable breakthroughs compared to the state-of-the-art of the field.
Similar rules for registration and attendance will be applied for authors of LBR papers as for regular papers. Further information will be available later on and given on the main page of the website.

3-3-17(2022-11-30) Third workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL), Potchefstroom, South Africa

Final call for papers

Third workshop on Resources for African Indigenous Language (RAIL)
https://bit.ly/rail2022


The South African Centre for Digital Language Resources (SADiLaR) is
organising the 3rd RAIL workshop in the field of Resources for African
Indigenous Languages. This workshop aims to bring together researchers
who are interested in showcasing their research and thereby boosting
the field of African indigenous languages. This provides an overview of
the current state-of-the-art and emphasizes availability of African
indigenous language resources, including both data and tools.
Additionally, it will allow for information sharing among researchers
interested in African indigenous languages and also start discussions
on improving the quality and availability of the resources.  Many
African indigenous languages currently have no or very limited
resources available and, additionally, they are often structurally
quite different from more well-resourced languages, requiring the
development and use of specialized techniques.  By bringing together
researchers from different fields (e.g., (computational) linguistics,
sociolinguistics, language technology) to discuss the development of
language resources for African indigenous languages, we hope to boost
research in this field.

The RAIL workshop is an interdisciplinary platform for researchers
working on resources (data collections, tools, etc.) specifically
targeted towards African indigenous languages.  It aims to create the
conditions for the emergence of a scientific community of practice that
focuses on data, as well as tools, specifically designed for or applied
to indigenous languages found in Africa.

Suggested topics include the following:
* Digital representations of linguistic structures
* Descriptions of corpora or other data sets of African indigenous
languages
* Building resources for (under resourced) African indigenous languages
* Developing and using African indigenous languages in the digital age
* Effectiveness of digital technologies for the development of African
indigenous languages
* Revealing unknown or unpublished existing resources for African
indigenous languages
* Developing desired resources for African indigenous languages
* Improving quality, availability and accessibility of African
indigenous language resources


The 3rd RAIL workshop 2022 will be co-located with the 10th Southern
African Microlinguistics Workshop (
https://sites.google.com/nwulettere.co.za/samwop-10/home). This will be
an in-person event located in Potchefstroom, South Africa. Registration
will be free.

RAIL 2022 submission requirements:
* RAIL asks for full papers from 4 pages to 8 pages (plus more pages
for references if needed), which must strictly follow the Journal of
the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa style guide (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/30
).
* Accepted submissions will be published in JDHASA, the Journal of the
Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (
https://upjournals.up.ac.za/index.php/dhasa/).
* Papers will be double blind peer-reviewed and must be submitted
through EasyChair (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=rail2022).

3-3-19(2023-01-04) SIVA workshop @ Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort, Hawaii, USA.

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

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission Deadline September, 12 2022 
Notification of Acceptance: October, 15 2022 
Camera-ready deadline: October, 31 2022
Workshop: January, 4 or 5 2023

VENUE

The SIVA workshop is organized as a satellite workshop of the IEEE International Conference on Automatic Face and Gesture Recognition 2023. The workshop will be collocated with the FG 2023 and WACV 2023 conferences at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort, Hawaii, USA.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND SUBMISSION DETAILS

Submissions must be original and not published or submitted elsewhere.  Short papers of 3 pages excluding references encourage submissions of early research in original emerging fields. Long paper of 6 to 8 pages excluding references promote the presentation of strongly original contributions, positional or survey papers. The manuscript should be formatted according to the Word or Latex template provided on the workshop website.  All submissions will be reviewed by 3 reviewers. The reviewing process will be single-blinded. Authors will be asked to disclose possible conflict of interests, such as cooperation in the previous two years. Moreover, care will be taken to avoid reviewers from the same institution as the authors.  Authors should submit their articles in a single pdf file in the submission website - no later than September, 12 2022. Notification of acceptance will be sent by October, 15 2022, and the camera-ready version of the papers revised according to the reviewers comments should be submitted by October, 31 2022. Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the FG'2023 conference. More information can be found on the SIVA website.

DIVERSITY, EQUALITY, AND INCLUSION

The format of this workshop will be hybrid online and onsite. This format proposes format of scientific exchanges in order to satisfy travel restrictions and COVID sanitary precautions, to promote inclusion in the research community (travel costs are high, online presentations will encourage research contributions from geographical regions which would normally be excluded), and to consider ecological issues (e.g., CO2 footprint). The organizing committee is committed to paying attention to equality, diversity, and inclusivity in consideration of invited speakers. This effort starts from the organizing committee and the invited speakers to the program committee.

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.
