Invitation to collaborate to the First Workshop on Expressive Encounters at ECCV 2024

Dear Colleagues,

We are thrilled to announce the First Workshop on Expressive Encounters, to be held on the 29th of September at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV). This workshop aims to delve into the cutting-edge developments in the integration of virtual embodied agents and robots into our daily lives, exploring their roles as receptionists, home assistants, personal trainers, and much more.

Our workshop focuses on designing these agents to be not only functionally complex and useful but also understandable and socially appropriate. Drawing inspiration from human-human interactions, we seek to develop generative models and evaluation methods for socially appropriate non-verbal behaviours, taking into account cultural and personal factors.

Key Workshop Dates:

  • Submission Deadline: 19th July

  • Notification of Acceptance: 9th August

  • Workshop: 29th September (AM)

Workshop Topics Include:

  • Multimodal data processing for gesture generation

  • Real-time gesture generation techniques

  • Incorporating personal factors into gesture generation

  • Transfer learning and transformer techniques for human-agent interactions

  • Multimodal data modelling for detecting human trust and openness towards embodied agents

We invite researchers to submit their contributions and join us in advancing the development of real-world applications involving virtual embodied agents and robots. The workshop will feature invited talks and provide a platform to exchange ideas with experts in academia and industry and contribute to the future of human-agent interaction.

For more information about submission guidelines and workshop details, please visit our workshop website.

We look forward to your participation and contribution to the workshop!

Best regards,

The Expressive Encounters Workshop Organizers
