Dear Colleagues,

We have extended the deadline for our workshop titled “Socially-Informed AI
for Healthcare: Understanding and Generating Multimodal Nonverbal Cues”
which takes place as part of the 23rd ACM International Conference on
Multimodal Interaction 2021 in October 2021 in Montreal, Canada.

The new deadline is June 27, 2021. For further information, please see
https://social-ai-for-healthcare.github.io/.

*CALL FOR PAPERS*

Advances in the areas of face and gesture analysis, computational
paralinguistics, multimodal interaction, and human-computer interaction
have all played a major role in shaping research into assistive
technologies over the last decade, resulting in a breadth of practical
applications ranging from diagnosis and treatment tools to social companion
technologies. While nonverbal cues play an essential role, there are still
many key issues to overcome, which affect both the development and the
deployment of multimodal technologies in real-world settings. The key aim
of this multidisciplinary workshop is to foster cross-pollination by
bringing together computer scientists and social psychologists to discuss
innovative ideas, challenges and opportunities for understanding and
generating multimodal nonverbal cues within the scope of healthcare
applications. Topics include, but are not limited to:


   - Analysis and synthesis of multimodal nonverbal cues, including facial
   expressions, paralinguistics, eye gaze and head movements, body postures
   and hand gestures, audio (e.g., turn taking, vocal outbursts, etc.) within
   an interaction context,
   - Co-modelling of nonverbal and verbal cues,
   - Cross-modality learning for the analysis and synthesis of nonverbal
   cues,
   - Novel methodologies for modelling long-term interactions through
   multiple modalities,
   - Modelling of interpersonal coordination such as convergence, synchrony
   or mimicry,
   - Personalisation and adaptation mechanisms for healthcare applications,
   - Automatic detection of non-conforming patterns and/or violations in
   social norms and expectations (expectancy violations theory) in nonverbal
   interaction,
   - Clinical applications (e.g., autism, depression, anxiety, etc.),
   including defining appropriate qualitative and quantitative evaluation
   methods,
   - Privacy preserving approaches to data collection or synthetic data
   generation,
   - Novel technological devices or robotics platforms specifically for
   healthcare applications,
   - Explainable AI techniques focused towards clinical applications.
