ROBOTDIAL 2020 - The 1st RobotDial Workshop on Dialogue Models for Human-Robot Interaction
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 andrepresentations, in order to build a joint understanding of the aspects and features that address the pertinent questions in the multidisciplinary field of robot dialogues.
Submission Guidelines
Paper submission is through EasyChair
Authors should submit their paper title and abstracts by May 11 and can revise their paper up until the final submission deadline on May 18. Short papers are a maximum of 4 pages and long papers are a maximum of 8 pages, excluding references. We will discuss the possibility of publishing in a special issue journal at the workshop.
