About the Workshop

The Workshop is held in conjunction with the 28th German Conference on Artificial Intelligence (KI2005). Advances in AI technology such as natural language processing, dialogue modeling, multimodal interfaces, and embodied agents increasingly enable the development of intelligent interfaces that combine various modes of communication to achieve the interaction suited best to the situational context and the specific task. For such a communication to be successful and truly bidirectional, a firm perceptual coupling between the communicating partners is one prerequisite. Topics include: Models and techniques for processing multimodal user input (speech,gesture, movement, facial expression, haptics, etc.), Models and techniques for generating multimodal system output, Symmetry and synergy between input processing and output generation, Levels and symmetry of presence in human-computer interaction, Models and techniques for creating and maintaining social presence, benefits and dangers of socially present systems, Models and techniques for emotion and personality in interactive systems, Evaluation of interactive systems, e.g., user impression of the systems, capabilities and limitations, Architectures for complex interactive systems.
