IVA is the premier international event for interdisciplinary research on the design, application, and evaluation of Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) – interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities including communicating using natural human modalities
such as facial expressions, speech and gesture. IVA 2020 will showcase cutting-edge research on the design, application, and evaluation of IVAs, including basic research underlying the technology that supports human-agent interaction such as social perception,
dialog modeling, and social behavior planning, as well as work on central theoretical issues, uses of virtual agents in psychological research and showcases of working applications.
IVA 2020’s Special Topic was an invitation to researchers and developers across the disciplines of computer science, robotics, psychology and the commercial world to share their work on the challenges and uses of social agent research, in the hope to further
trans-disciplinary collaboration.
The invited talks this year will include a social roboticist, a neuroscientist and an artist panel:
- Professor Jodi Forlizzi: “HRI and HAI: Merging Perspectives from Two Fields”
- Professor Lars Muckli: “Emotions and other contextual signals in early visual cortex and the computational role for AI”
- Behnaz Farahi, Ph.D.: “Emotive Matter: Affective Computing from Fashion to Architecture”
- Güvenç Özel: “Persuasion Machines: Networked Architectures in the Age of Surveillance Capitalism”
