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.

3-3-9 | (2023-04-02) Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23) , Dublin, Ireland ++ CALL FOR PAPERS ++
**************************************************************************** Sixth International Workshop on Narrative Extraction from Texts (Text2Story'23)
Held in conjunction with the 45th European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR'23)
April 2nd, 2023 - Dublin, Ireland
Website: https://text2story23.inesctec.pt **************************************************************************** ++ Important Dates ++ - Submission deadline: January 23rd, 2023 - Acceptance Notification Date: March 3rd, 2023 - Camera-ready copies: March 17th, 2023 - Workshop: April 2nd, 2023
++ Overview ++ Recent years have shown a stream of continuously evolving information making it unmanageable and time-consuming for an interested reader to track and process and to keep up with all the essential information and the various aspects of a story. Automated narrative extraction from text offers a compelling approach to this problem. It involves identifying the sub-set of interconnected raw documents, extracting the critical narrative story elements, and representing them in an adequate final form (e.g., timelines) that conveys the key points of the story in an easy-to-understand format. Although, information extraction and natural language processing have made significant progress towards an automatic interpretation of texts, the problem of automated identification and analysis of the different elements of a narrative present in a document (set) still presents significant unsolved challenges
++ List of Topics ++ In the sixth edition of the Text2Story workshop, we aim to bring to the forefront the challenges involved in understanding the structure of narratives and in incorporating their representation in well-established models, as well as in modern architectures (e.g., transformers) which are now common and form the backbone of almost every IR and NLP application. It is hoped that the workshop will provide a common forum to consolidate the multi-disciplinary efforts and foster discussions to identify the wide-ranging issues related to the narrative extraction task. To this regard, we encourage the submission of high-quality and original submissions covering the following topics:
++ Dataset ++ We challenge the interested researchers to consider submitting a paper that makes use of the tls-covid19 dataset (published at ECIR'21) under the scope and purposes of the text2story workshop. tls-covid19 consists of a number of curated topics related to the Covid-19 outbreak, with associated news articles from Portuguese and English news outlets and their respective reference timelines as gold-standard. While it was designed to support timeline summarization research tasks it can also be used for other tasks including the study of news coverage about the COVID-19 pandemic. A script to reconstruct and expand the dataset is available at https://github.com/LIAAD/tls-covid19. The article itself is available at this link: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-72113-8_33
++ Submission Guidelines ++
We invite two kinds of submissions:
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least two members of the programme committee. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings published at CEUR workshop proceedings (indexed in Scopus and DBLP) as long as they don't conflict with previous publication rights.
++ Workshop Format ++ Participants of accepted papers will be given 15 minutes for oral presentations.

Après une dernière édition organisée en Belgique par nos collègues du Laboratoire de phonétique de l’Université de Mons en 2019 (sous l’égide de l’Institut de Recherche en Sciences et Technologies du Langage), les JPC reviennent en France en 2023 (après annulation en 2021) pour leur 9e édition. Co-organisée par l’Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse (IRIT), le laboratoire de Neuro-Psycho-Linguistique (LNPL) et le Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Toulouse ainsi que par le Laboratoire Informatique d’Avignon (LIA), la manifestation se tiendra à l’Université de Toulouse du 15 au 17 juin 2023.
Rencontre scientifique internationale, les Journées de Phonétique Clinique sont principalement destinées à rassembler et à favoriser les échanges entre chercheurs, cliniciens, informaticiens, ingénieurs, phonéticiens et tout autre professionnel s’intéressant au fonctionnement de la parole, de la voix et du langage. Les JPC accueillent autant les experts que les jeunes chercheurs et les étudiants des domaines cliniques (médecine, orthophonie/logopédie), psychologique, informatique et des sciences du langage. La production et la perception de la parole, de la voix et du langage de l’enfant et de l’adulte, sain ou atteint d’une pathologie, sont les domaines de prédilection des JPC. Ils y sont ainsi abordés selon des points de vue variés, permettant le partage des savoirs et l’ouverture de nouvelles pistes de réflexion, de recherche et de collaboration. Lors de cette neuvième édition, la thématique des mesures de la parole sera mise en avant. Elle s’inscrit dans un cadre conceptuel dont les facettes sont multiples : analyses perceptives, traitement automatique du signal, caractérisations de l’intelligibilité, du trouble de la parole, des di/ysfluences atteignant le débit de la parole, la prosodie… Sa pertinence clinique est essentielle : l’évaluation du trouble, de ses conséquences fonctionnelles et de l’impact sur la qualité de vie est primordiale pour le suivi des patients atteints de pathologies neurologiques, cancérologiques… Trois conférences plénières seront prévues autour du thème des journées. Une table ronde ainsi que des ateliers feront également partie du programme de cette nouvelle édition. Les propositions de communication (résumé de 400 mots, hors titre, auteurs et références) porteront sur les problématiques suivantes (liste non exhaustive) :
Une attention particulière sera portée aux propositions ciblant la thématique autour des mesures de la parole. Dates importantes : - 20 janvier 2023 → Date limite de soumission des résumés via SciencesConf : https://jpc2023.sciencesconf.org/
