ICMI 2020: Call for Long and Short Papers - Deadline Extended

by Leimin Tian

*************************************** ICMI 2020: Call for Long and Short Papers http://icmi.acm.org/2020/index.php?id=cfp 25-29 Oct 2020, Utrecht, The Netherlands *************************************** COVID-19 announcement Dear all, We hope you are healthy in these worrying times. We are closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in the Netherlands and around the world. There are many uncertainties, but we will try to give you more information about the format of the conference as soon as possible. What we do know for certain, is that we will publish ICMI2020 proceedings this year. Also note that we have extended the submission deadline for Long and Short papers to 29 May 2020. Take care, the organizing team of ICMI2020. *************************************** Call for Long and Short Papers The 22nd International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2020) will be held in Utrecht, the Netherlands. ICMI is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. We are keen to showcase novel input and output modalities and interactions to the ICMI community. ICMI 2020 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), demonstrations, exhibits and doctoral spotlight papers. The conference will also feature workshops and grand challenges. The proceedings of ICMI 2020 will be published by ACM as part of their series of International Conference Proceedings and Digital Library. We also want to welcome conference papers from behavioral and social sciences. These papers allow us to understand how technology can be used to increase our scientific knowledge and may focus less on presenting technical or algorithmic novelty. For this reason, the "novelty" criteria used during ICMI 2020 review will be based on two sub-criteria (i.e., scientific novelty and technical novelty as described below). Accepted papers at ICMI 2020 only need to be novel on one of these sub-criteria. In other words, a paper which is strong on scientific knowledge contribution but low on algorithmic novelty should be ranked similarly to a paper that is high on algorithmic novelty but low on knowledge discovery. - Scientific Novelty: Papers should bring some new knowledge to the scientific community. For example, discovering new behavioral markers that are predictive of mental health or how new behavioral patterns relate to children’s interactions during learning. It is the responsibility of the authors to perform a proper literature review and clearly discuss the novelty in the scientific discoveries made in their paper. - Technical Novelty: Papers reviewed with this sub-criterion should include novelty in their computational approach for recognizing, generating or modeling data. Examples include: novelty in the learning and prediction algorithms, in the neural architecture, or in the data representation. Novelty can also be associated to a new usage of an existing approach. Please see the Submission Guidelines for Authors https://icmi.acm.org/2020/index.php?id=authors for detailed submission instructions. This year’s conference theme: In this information age, technological innovation is at the core of our lives and rapidly transforming and impacting the state of the world in art, culture, and society, and science as well - the borders between classical disciplines such as humanities and computer science are fading. In particular, we wonder how multimodal processing of human behavioural data can create meaningful impact in art, culture, and society practices. And vice versa, how does art, culture, and society influence our approaches and techniques in multimodal processing? As such, this year, ICMI welcomes contributions on our theme for Multimodal processing and representation of Human Behaviour in Art, Culture, and Society. Additional topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Affective computing and interaction - Cognitive modeling and multimodal interaction - Gesture, touch and haptics - Healthcare, assistive technologies - Human communication dynamics - Human-robot/agent multimodal interaction - Interaction with smart environment - Machine learning for multimodal interaction - Mobile multimodal systems - Multimodal behavior generation - Multimodal datasets and validation - Multimodal dialogue modeling - Multimodal fusion and representation - Multimodal interactive applications - Speech behaviors in social interaction - System components and multimodal platforms - Visual behaviours in social interaction - Virtual/augmented reality and multimodal interaction Important Dates Paper Submission: *May 29, 2020 (EXTENDED)* Reviews to authors: July 15, 2020 Rebuttal due: July 20, 2020 Paper notification: TBA Camera ready paper: TBA Presenting at main conference: October 25-29, 2020

SCOPE AND LIST OF TOPICS IVA invites submissions on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: Agent design and modeling of: - Cognition - Emotion (including personality and cultural differences) - Socially communicative behavior (e.g., of emotions, personality traits) - Conversational behavior - Social perception - Machine learning approaches to agent modeling - Approaches to realizing adaptive behavior - Models informed by theoretical and empirical research from psychology Multimodal interaction: - Verbal and nonverbal behavior coordination - Face-to-face communication skills - Engagement - Managing co-presence and interpersonal relation - Multi-party interaction - Data driven multimodal modeling Social agent architectures: - Design criteria and design methodologies - Engineering of real-time human-agent interaction - Standards / measures to support interoperability - Portability and reuse - Specialized tools, toolkits and tool chains Evaluation methods and studies: - Evaluation methodologies and user studies - Ethical considerations and societal impact - Applicable lessons across fields (e.g. between robotics and virtual agents) - Social agents as a means to study and model human behavior Applications: - Applications in education, skills training, health, counseling, games, art, etc. - Virtual agents in games and simulations - Social agents as tools in psychology - Migration between platforms SPECIAL IVA 2020 TOPIC: Exploring Connections between Computer Science, Robotics and Psychology. Across computer science, robotics, psychology and the commercial world, there has been a rapid growth in the research, development and application of artificial social agents. Computer scientists and roboticists are researching graphics-based and physical social agents. Psychologists and neuroscientists are using these artifacts in laboratory experiments in order to study our interaction with them as well as to use them as confederates in the study of human behavior. Companies are actively developing similar technologies. However, these communities too rarely interact even though there are close synergies between psychology, the study of human behavior, and artificial social agents, the engineering of human behavior. The design of an artificial social agent involves the formalization of theories and data about human behavior, integration of resulting models into an agent and evaluation of its behavior, leveraging techniques derived from psychology. Each of these steps can in return be of fundamental value to psychological research. For example, formalization and integration forces one to concretely specify theoretical constructs and thereby expose hidden assumptions and gaps in theories. IVA 2020’s Special Topic provides an invitation to researchers and developers across disciplines to share their work on the challenges and uses of social agent research, in the hope to further trans-disciplinary collaboration. INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Paper submissions should be anonymous and prepared in the “ACM Standard” format, more specifically the “SigConf” format. - The LaTeX template for the “ACM Standard”/”SigConf” format can be found inside the official 2017 ACM Master article template package.
