2nd Call for papers
HCI International 2023 Session: "Semantic, artificial and
computational interaction studies: Towards a behavioromics of
multimodal communication"
Manual gestures, facial expressions, head movements, shrugs, laughter,
body orientation, speech, pauses: they all contribute to constituting
what is called "multimodal interaction". Aiming at natural (for
humans) interfaces, the field of HCI paid attention to this social
fact early on. It is also a vital topic in conversation analysis and
cognitive science and begins to percolate to theoretical linguistics
and (formal) semantics. Simultaneously, due to the digital turn, work
on multimodal communication is expanded by data analytics, that is,
statistical means to describe the form of communication. However,
while conjoint in investigating a common empirical domain, there is
little exchange between these fields. This session aims at bringing
these branches together. Potential goals are to delineate experimental
studies, computational methods, resource building, and exploration to
integrate symbolic, statistical, laboratory, field, and corpus-based
approaches -- a joint methodological endeavor that might be called
"behavioromics." The session is open, but not restrcted, to topics
such as the following:
- dialogue semantics and dialogue systems
- (big) gesture data
- multimodal interaction data
- creation and exploitation of multimodal corpora
- virtual reality avatars as experimental setting
- cross-modal tracking
- data-based multimodal analysis
- detecting multimodal ensembles or gestalts
- automatic annotation of everything beyond written text
- representation schemes for multimodal communication
We want to emphasize that conceptual contributions are highly welcome!
The conference session aims at providing a platform for bringing
together semanticists, computer scientists and researchers from
related fields that deal with multimodal interaction. We all work on
virtually the same topic but from different angles, but there are way
to few opportunities to get in touch. But exchange and seeing what
others are doing is crucial to approach the above-outlined,
methodological, empirical and theoretical challenges.
The conference session will take place *virtually* in conjunction with
HCI International 2023 (https://2023.hci.international/).
Full papers will be published as part of the conference proceedings by
Springer.
