The 18th annual Young Researchers’ Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems
(YRRSDS) <https://sites.google.com/view/yrrsds2022/home> will be held in
Edinburgh (collocated with SIGdial) on September 5th and 6th, 2022.

YRRSDS (http://www.yrrsds.org/) is an annual workshop for graduate
students, postdoctoral students, and junior researchers working on spoken
dialogue systems in both academia and industry. The workshop serves as an
interdisciplinary forum for creative thinking about current issues in
spoken dialogue systems research and helps to create an international
network of young researchers working in the field.

We invite researchers at an early stage of their career (no age limit) to
submit a 2-page position paper.

This should include their past, present and future work, a short bio, and
topic suggestions for discussions. Poster presentation by all participants
is expected. However, posters need only present current work and not
necessarily be from a published paper.

*Submission topics include, but are not limited to*:

•  Open domain, task-oriented dialogue, and chat systems

•  Models of dialogue: statistical, symbolic, and hybrid approaches

•  Dialogue state tracking and policy learning for dialogue management

•  Spoken language understanding and natural language generation for
dialogue

•  Evaluation methodology for dialogue systems

•  Semantics, pragmatics, and context in dialogue systems

•  Incremental spoken dialogue systems

•  Situated interaction with virtual and robotic agents

•  Psycholinguistic influences on dialogue system design

•  Establishing social relationships and engagement with the user

•  Data collection and dataset sharing for statistical models

•  Industry development cycles, requirements, and applications
