The 7th Workshop on Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction

At ACM ICMI 2014, Istanbul, Turkey November 16th, 2014

Papers deadline: July 15th, 2014 www:  http://hhhuang.homelinux.com/gaze_in

Eye gaze is one of the most important aspects in understanding and modeling human-human communication, and it has great potential also in improving human-machine and robot interaction. In human face-to-face communication, eye gaze plays an important role in floor and turn management, grounding, and engagement in conversation. In human-computer interaction research, social gaze, gaze directed at an interaction partner, has been a subject of increased attention. This is the seventh workshop in Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction, and in the previous workshops we have discussed a wide range of issues for eye gaze involved in multimodal human-machine/robot/agent interaction; technologies for sensing human attentional behaviors, attentional behaviors in problem-solving and task-performing, multimodal communication, interpretation and generation.… read more. “Call: 7th Workshop on Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction (at ICMI 2014)”

Joint Workshop on Interfaces and Human Decision Making for Recommender Systems
IntRS’14:  http://recex.ist.tugraz.at/intrs2014/

Held in conjunction with the ACM Conference on Recommender Systems (RecSys 2014)
6-10th October 2014, Silicon Valley, California.

Submission deadline: 21st of July, 2014

As an interactive intelligent system, recommender systems are developed to suggest items that match users’ preferences. Since the emergence of recommender systems, a large majority of research has focused on objective accuracy criteria and less attention has been paid to how users interact with the system and the efficacy of interface designs from users’ perspectives. The field has reached a point where it [is] ready to look beyond algorithms, into users’ interactions, decision making processes and overall experience.

This workshop focuses on integrating different theories of human decision making into the construction of recommender systems. This year it will focus particularly on the impact of interfaces on decision support and overall satisfaction.… read more. “Call: Workshop on Interfaces and Human Decision Making for Recommender Systems at RecSys 2014”

“Living With the Digital Dead”

Burwood Corporate Centre, Deakin University, Melbourne
Friday 7th November

Researchers across a number of disciplines have noted that the internet, and especially the increasing ubiquity of social media, is changing the ways in which the dead figure in the lives of the living. New means of commemorating, remembering, forgetting, interacting with and even denigrating the dead have emerged in online contexts, from online memorial sites, to new conventions of public mourning, to Facebook users continuing to post on the walls of deceased friends, to speculative new technologies that will create interactive avatars of the dead. Such practices raise important questions about the ontological, ethical, and social standing of the electronically-mediated dead and the digital ‘remains’ in which they are instantiated.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on this topic from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives, including philosophy, media studies, cultural studies and sociology.… read more. “Call: “Living With the Digital Dead” Workshop”

First Issue – Yearbook of Moving Image Studies
“Cyborgian Images: The moving image between apparatus and body”

Deadline for Articles: December 31, 2014

The double-blind peer-reviewed Yearbook of Moving Image Studies (YoMIS) is now accepting articles from scientists, scholars, artists and film makers for the first issue entitled “Cyborgian Images: The moving image between apparatus and bod”. YoMIS will be enriched by disciplines like media and film studies, image science, (film) philosophy, art history, game studies and other research areas related to the moving image in general.

Modern perspectives on the structure of moving images exemplify a complex multimodal mechanism that interacts in specific ways with the recipient and various levels of the perception of images. In this case neither moving images nor the subjective reception are passive processes. Movement, time, space and different modalities interact with senses, memories and anticipation and create a complex hybrid structure of medium, recipient and sensory stimulus processing.… read more. “Call: “Cyborgian Images: The moving image between apparatus and body” for Yearbook of Moving Image Studies”
