==About CUI 2019==
CUI 2019 is the 1st annual International Conference on Conversational
User Interfaces. It aims to be the premier interdisciplinary conference
for researchers and practitioners across the world to discuss the latest
in conversational interface technology. This inaugural event will take
place in Dublin, Ireland on 22nd-23rd August 2019 and will be hosted in
the heart of the city centre. The conference holds ACM SIGCHI In
Co-Operation status.
There has been an increasing interest in language based interactions
with technology. Through the commercial success of intelligent personal
assistant devices such as Alexa and Google Home, to the growth of the
use of chatbots in commercial settings, the number of natural language
and conversation based interactions is growing. Although there is growth
in this area, with much technical effort being applied and promoted in
these areas (e.g. Interspeech, SIGDIAL), there is comparatively little
promotion of and exploration of important human-computer interaction and
design based issues. This event, growing from successful workshops at
both ACM CHI and ACM Mobile HCI, looks to begin to develop an
independent yet collaborative community with specific interest in theory
based and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text based
conversational user interfaces. The event looks to bring together the
ISCA and ACM SIGCHI communities to publish and promote insight and
debate in this interesting and important discipline within language
interfaces.
==Conference Structure==
CUI is a 2 day, single track conference, showcasing leading work in the area of language based interfaces.
It is being held in the heart of Dublin, Ireland.
The conference includes cutting edge human centered contributions in the
areas of, but not limited to:
voice user interfaces, conversational interaction through technology,
text based conversational interfaces, chatbots, speech interfaces,
speech synthesis, speech recognition, dialogue management,
conversational interface design insights, speech, text and language interface theory
development, methods for conversational user interface development and
evaluation, multi modal interaction where speech and language technologies are a major component.
==Confirmed Keynote Speakers==
Susan E. Brennan (Stony Brook University)
Cosmin Munteanu (University of Toronto Mississauga)
==Paper Presentations==
The conference programme will include presentations of high quality peer reviewed research on cutting
edge topics in speech, text and language technology interaction through full papers (32% acceptance rate),
provocation papers (47.2% acceptance rate) and showcase papers (showcasing leading previously published papers in the field) as well as
panels discussing critical future issues for the field.
