[JokinenKristiina]

The 1st IJCAI-PRICAI Workshop ROBOTDIAL 2020
Robot Dialogues - Dialogue Models for Human-Robot Interaction

CALL FOR PAPERS: http://sap.ist.i.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ijcai2020/robotdial/

In conjunction with IJCAI-PRICAI 2020, Yokohama, Japan



==== Important Notice ====

Concerning the novel coronavirus pandemic, the ROBOTDIAL workshop organization will follow the guidelines of the main conference IJCAI-PRICAI, which will take place in some form (see https://www.ijcai20.org/ for updates on IJCAI-PRICAIs planning).

Like the main conference, we will keep open the possibility for an in-person meeting, but also make plans for an online workshop. The accepted papers will be published in the workshop proceedings and the possibility for a special journal issue based on the presented papers will be discussed at the workshop. We will notify the authors and the community accordingly. If you have any questions concerning the workshop or submissions, please contact or contact the organisers at: robotdial2020 at easychair.org<mailto:robotdial2020 at easychair.org>

==== Important Dates ====

Title and abstract deadline (extended): April 20 May 11
Final submission deadline (extended): April 27 May 18
Author notification (extended): May 22 May 29
Camera ready due: June 3
Workshop day: July 11-13 (actual date to be determined later)

Authors should submit their paper title and abstracts by April 20 May 11 and can revise their paper up until the final submission deadline on April 27 May 18. Paper submission is through EasyChair and uses the paper format for IJCAI. Short papers are a maximum of 4 pages and long papers are a maximum of 8 pages, excluding references.  At the workshop, we will discuss the possibility of editing a special issue of a journal based on the presented papers.

==== Overview ====

Large communities in AI, robotics and interaction technology already work on spoken language-based human-robot interaction. Their different starting points and assumptions call for discussions, exchange of ideas and more integrated approaches to implementations and modelling of spoken dialogues on robot platforms.

This one-day workshop offers a platform for researchers to discuss and elaborate their views at the intersection of AI, robotics and spoken dialogue modelling. Sophisticated interaction models and implementations are critical in this endeavour but are not often explicitly addressed. Dialogue modelling and dialogue system implementations, on their part, are often developed without sufficiently considering how the models could be used in an embodied robotic system which also interacts with the environment. The workshop offers a platform for discussions concerning appropriate architectures and representations, in order to build a joint understanding of the aspects and features that address the pertinent questions in the multidisciplinary field of robot dialogues.

We invite submissions for this workshop based on (but not limited to) the following topics:

- models of human-robot interactions and dialogue
- multimodal human-robot dialogue
- non-verbal communication in human-robot dialogue
- language modeling for robot interactions
- robots and unstructured conversation
- user studies with human-robot dialogue
- paralinguistics for robot interaction
- cognitive architectures for spoken dialogues
- representations for interaction and dialogue modelling
