The 26th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2024)
November 4-8, 2024
San José, Costa Rica
https://icmi.acm.org/2024/call-for-papers/

Abstract deadline: April 26th, 2024
Paper submission: May 3rd, 2024

The 26th International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (ICMI 2024) will be held in San José, Costa Rica. 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 encompasses 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.

Novelty will be assessed along two dimensions: scientific novelty and technical novelty. Accepted papers at ICMI 2024 will need to be novel along one of the two dimensions:

• SCIENTIFIC NOVELTY: Papers should bring new scientific knowledge about human social interactions, including human-computer interactions.
