Such models might either generate textual descriptions of people, generate images corresponding to people’s descriptions, or in general exploit multimodal representations for different purposes and applications. Knowledge of the way human bodies and faces are perceived, understood and described by humans is key to the creation of such resources and models, therefore the workshop also invites contributions where the human body and face are studied from a cognitive, neurocognitive or multimodal communication perspective. </span></p><div style="line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Human body postures and faces are being studied by researchers from different research communities, including those working with vision and language modeling, natural language generation, cognitive science, cognitive psychology, multimodal communication and embodied conversational agents. The workshop aims to reach out to all these communities to explore the many different aspects of research on the human body and face, including the resources that such research needs, and to foster cross-disciplinary synergy.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">The ability to adequately model and describe people in terms of their body and face is interesting for a variety of language technology applications, e.g., conversational agents and interactive multimodal narrative generation, as well as forensic applications in which people need to be identified or their images generated from textual or spoken descriptions. </span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Such systems need resources and models where images associated with human bodies and faces are coupled with linguistic descriptions, therefore the research needed to develop them is placed at the interface between vision and language research. </span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">At the same time, this line of research raises important ethical questions, both from the perspective of data collection methodology and from the perspective of bias detection and avoidance in models trained to process and interpret human attributes.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.2; text-align: justify; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">By focussing on the modelling and processing of physical characteristics of people, and the ethical implications of this research, the workshop will explore and further develop a particular area within visual and language research.
