Call for Papers
The 2nd International Workshop of AI Werewolf and Dialog System (AIWolfDial2024)
Collocated with INLG 2024 conference, September 23-27, 2024, Tokyo, Japan
https://sites.google.com/view/aiwolfdial2024-inlg

< Workshop aims >

Recent achievements of generation models, e.g. ChatGPT, are gathering
greater attentions. However, such a huge language model would not be
sufficiently able to handle coherent responses, longer contexts,
common grounds, and logics.

The AIWolfDial 2024 contest is held as a part of this AIWolfDial2024
workshop. This is an international open contest for automatic players
of the conversation game "Mafia", requires players not just to
communicate but to infer, persuade, deceive other players via coherent
logical conversations, while having the role-playing non-task-oriented
chats as well. We believe that this contest reveals current issues in
the recent huge language models, showing directions of next
breakthrough in the NLP area.

From the viewpoint of Game AI area, players must hide information, in
contrast to perfect information games such as chess or Reversi. Each
player acquires secret information from other players' conversations
and behavior and acts by hiding information to accomplish their
objectives. Players are required persuasion for earning confidence,
and speculation for detecting fabrications.

We call for papers which include following topics but not limited to:

AI werewolf agents for natural language and/or protocols
Natural language processing and LLMs for games
Corpora, resources, analysis on conversation games
Natural language processing for human relationships
Natural language processing for logic and strategy
Imperfect information game and natural language
Deceiving and persuasion by automatic agents
Evaluation of dialog systems using games
