The 6th GENEA Workshop @ACM Multimedia 2025 – Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents

June 24th, 2025 Daniela Lopez de Luise
📢 Call for Papers

The 6th Generation and Evaluation of Non-verbal Behaviour for Embodied Agents (GENEA) Workshop
October 27 or 28, 2025 (in person)
Held in conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2025, Dublin, Ireland
Website: https://genea-workshop.github.io/2025/workshop/

Paper submissions are now open for the 6th edition of the GENEA Workshop, focusing on the generation of non-verbal behaviours such as gesticulation, facial expressions, and gaze—a crucial component of natural interaction with embodied agents, including virtual agents and social robots.

Currently, behaviour generation is typically powered by rule-based systems, data-driven approaches like generative AI, or hybrid models. For evaluation, both objective and subjective methods are used, though their application and validity are often debated. This workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines working on various aspects of non-verbal behaviour generation, facilitating discussion on advancing both generation techniques and evaluation methodologies.

 

✨ Topics of Interest

We invite original contributions on topics including (but not limited to):

  • Automated synthesis of facial expressions, gestures, and gaze movements, including multimodal synthesis
  • Audio-, music-, emotion-driven, or stylistic non-verbal behaviour synthesis
  • Closed-loop / end-to-end non-verbal behaviour generation (from perception to action)
  • Non-verbal behaviour synthesis in two-party and group interactions
  • Use of LLMs/VLMs in the context of non-verbal behaviour synthesis
  • New datasets, annotation methods, and analyses of existing datasets related to non-verbal behaviour
  • Cross-cultural and multilingual influences on non-verbal behaviour generation
  • Cognitive and affective models for non-verbal behaviour generation
  • Social perception and attribution of synthesised non-verbal behaviour
  • Ethical considerations and biases in non-verbal behaviour synthesis
  • Subjective and objective evaluation methods for any of the above topics

 

📝 Submission Types

We welcome:

  • Long papers (8 pages)
  • Short papers (4 pages)

All submissions should follow the double-column ACM conference format used by ACM Multimedia (https://acmmm2025.org/call-for-papers/). Pages containing only references do not count toward the page limit. Papers must be submitted in PDF format via OpenReview and formatted for double-blind review. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and included in the companion proceedings. Submission site: https://openreview.net/group?id=acmmm.org/ACMMM/2025/Workshop/GENEA.
