The Group Interaction Frontiers in Technology (GIFT) workshop aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields related to group interaction, team dynamics, people analytics, multi-modal speech and language processing, social psychology, and organizational
behaviour.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; position: relative; color: rgb(33, 33, 33); font-size: 16px; text-decoration: inherit; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; line-height: 1.75; padding-top: 15px; text-align: justify;" class="">
The workshop will provide a unique opportunity to researchers to share their knowledge and gain insights outside their respective fields and will hopefully lead to inter-disciplinary networking and fruitful collaboration.</div>

Recent technological advances allow for novel ways of group analysis. This fact is attested by the rapid growth of fields such as People Analytics and Human Resource Analytics, which in turn have grown out of many decades of research in social psychology, organizational
behaviour, computing, and network science, amongst other fields. The workshop will serve as a venue for presenting recent advances in core technologies as well as experimental studies and analyses.</div>
