25th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023)
October 9-13, 2023
Paris, France
https://icmi.acm.org/2023/

Submission deadline: May 1, 2023

The 25th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023) will be held in Paris, France. ICMI is the premier international forum that brings together multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction research. Multimodal AI encompasses technical challenges in machine learning and computational modeling such as representations, fusion, data and systems. The study of social interactions englobes both human-human interactions and human-computer interactions. A unique aspect of ICMI is its multidisciplinary nature which values both scientific discoveries and technical modeling achievements, with an eye towards impactful applications for the good of people and society.

ICMI 2023 will feature a single-track main conference which includes: keynote speakers, technical full and short papers (including oral and poster presentations), demonstrations, exhibits, doctoral consortium, and late-breaking papers.… read more. “Call: 25th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2023)”

DESCRIPTION

The Interdisciplinary Design of Emotion Sensitive Agents (IDEA) workshop is a one full-day workshop organized within the AAMAS2023 conference (29-30 May, London, United Kingdom).

Emotion Sensitive Agents (ESA), i.e. agents equipped with emotional sensitivity, may it be for accounting for (human-centered) or replicating (human-like) emotion, are an uprising interest topic in agent and multiagent design and applications. Understanding the theory and technique for designing such agents and assessing their impact on individuals and society inherently require an interdisciplinary scrutiny, from grounding ESA models in, for example, psychology-based background, to developing solid validation methodologies and assessing the consequences of such systems in larger socio-technical frames.… read more. “Call: Interdisciplinary Design of Emotion Sensitive Agents (IDEA) workshop at AAMAS 2023”

Virtually Human: Philosophizing through Games and Virtual Worlds
April 21-22, 2023
Molloy University
Rockville Centre, NY
https://philevents.org/event/show/105233

Submission deadline: February 5, 2023

The Molloy University Philosophy Department and New Media Department welcome submissions to our conference, “Virtually Human: Philosophizing through Games and Virtual Worlds,” taking place on our campus in Rockville Centre, NY, on April 21-22nd, 2023. This interdisciplinary conference welcomes papers from philosophy as well as game studies. The conference will include participation from undergraduates and be open to the public, so papers are encouraged to avoid excessive philosophical jargon and to be accessible to the educated layperson. We will accept submissions for traditional academic papers, roundtable discussions, panels, or interactive workshops.

Video games and VR primarily function as entertainment but they are also vehicles for expressing aspects of culture, including philosophical concepts and moral norms. While pop culture functions as a powerful medium for exploring philosophical ideas in the contemporary world, the gameplay format offers an interactive experience in which players are not just spectators, but themselves contribute to the stories that are told.… read more. “Call: Virtually Human: Philosophizing through Games and Virtual Worlds (conference)”

The 7th annual pre-conference on Human-Machine Communication (HMC) aims to facilitate discussions about theories, methodologies, findings, opportunities, and challenges related to “authenticity” in HMC. We focus on two primary areas: “authenticity in communication between humans and machines” and “authenticity in HMC research.”

1) AUTHENTICITY IN COMMUNICATION BETWEEN HUMANS AND MACHINES:
Some examples of specific areas of interests/questions in this focus include the following, but are NOT limited to:

• What (theoretical) concepts are suitable for understanding authenticity in HMC (e.g., self-disclosure, trust)?
• How does authenticity empirically manifest in HMC?
