SCOPE
The themes of this Workshop are multidisciplinary in nature, and closely connected in their final aims to identifying features from realistic dynamics of signal exchanges. Such dynamics characterize, formal and informal social signals, communication modes, hearing and vision processes, and brain functionalities. Of particular interest are analyses of visual, written and auditory information and corresponding computational efforts to automatically detect and interpret their semantic and pragmatic contents. Related applications of these interdisciplinary facets are ICT interfaces able to detect health and affective states of their users, interpret their psychological and behavioral patterns and support them through positively designed interventions aiming at improving their quality of life.
TOPICS
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:
- Empathic conversational systems and agents
- Applications for mental health and wellbeing
- Signals for detecting affective wellbeing and emotional states
- Detection of health and psychological states from multimodal signals
- Social networks for information spread and share
- Empathic ICT interfaces
- Computational Architectures for Affective Systems
- Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Algorithms in Affective Systems
- Human and/or machine encoding and decoding of behavioral patterns
- Human daily cognitive activities
- ...
