SIHVA 2024: Computational Modeling of Social Interaction for Human and Virtual Agents
Special Session at the 16th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2024) 15-18 April 2024, Ras Al Khaimah, UAE Website: https://aciids.pwr.edu.pl/2024/session.php?acronym=SIHVA Organizers Sophie C.F. Hendrikse University of Amsterdam, Psychological Methods Group E-mail: s.c.f.hendri...@uva.nl<mailto:s.c.f.hendri...@uva.nl> Jan Treur Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Social AI Group E-mail: j.tr...@vu.nl<mailto:j.tr...@vu.nl> Objectives >From a Computer Science or AI perspective, social interaction for human or >virtual agents might simply be modeled like exchange of information. However, >as many researchers involved in this area know, in a realistic context there >is much more to it than that. Some examples of quite relevant aspects are how >information about the other agent is represented and interpreted, how the >interaction behaviour is context-sensitive and has flexibility in responses, >and can be adaptive over time, for example, like in bonding. Research on all >of such and other relevant aspects can be addressed in this track. Topics Some of the specific topics covered are (but the scope is not limited to these): * Multimodal interaction * Representing and learning about the other agent, self-other distinction * Social contagion and mirroring * Emergence of similarity during social interaction: homophily, synchrony * Adaptivity of interaction behaviour over shorter and longer time periods * Interpersonal regulation of emotions between agents * Joint-decision making * Collaborative learning * Artificial social systems * Social affective computing * Socially intelligent agents and multi-agent systems Important dates Paper submission: January 5, 2024 (2nd extension) Notification of acceptance: February 28, 2024 Camera-ready papers: March 15, 2024 Registration & payment: March 15, 2024 Conference date: April 15-18, 2024
