embodied Spoken Interactions (m)

We invite submissions for the Workshop on Multidisciplinary Perspectives on
COntext-aware embodied Spoken Interactions (MP-COSIN,
https://www.mpcosin.com), which will be held as part of the International
Conference on Robot and Human Interactive Communication (RO-MAN 2023,
https://ro-man2023.org) in Busan, Korea, on June 30th 2023.

Summary

The workshop on Multidisciplinary Perspectives on COntext-aware embodied
Spoken INteractions (MP-COSIN), will be held at the RO-MAN 2023 conference
in Busan, Korea. It aims to gather researchers in the fields of speech
technology, dialogue systems, and human-robot interaction to discuss the
challenges of creating interactive agents that can take their environment,
context and own embodiment into account to make the interactions with their
users natural and convincing. While it is already challenging to deploy
embodied agents for spoken interactions in the real world, the addition of
a dynamically evolving context during the interaction makes the complexity
of this task even higher. As these types of interactions can fail or
succeed in many different ways, it is important to bring different fields
together to share experiences in addressing this research path. In
particular, communities with a history of research on spoken dialogue
systems, conversation analysis, and conversational user interfaces can help
provide a common ground on the notion of context-awareness and how it could
be developed for robotics and human-robot interaction.

Submissions

We welcome papers that are maximum 4 pages in length, excluding references
(if necessary, figures can be included in the Appendix).

All papers are reviewed using a single-blind review process and authors
should use the templates provided by the RO-MAN conference and follow the
format specified there. Authors should submit their papers electronically,
in PDF format, via the EasyChair submission site (
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mpcosin2023).
