With this workshop, we open up discussion on the relationship between multimodality and identity of digital agents. Who “lives” in which devices or bodies and how may agents’ use of multimodal cues add to or conflict with their identity? Multi-disciplinary teams of researchers are welcomed to explore opportunities and challenges of an identity of an artificial agent that may transfer between multiple devices, the perception therein of having a single identity across various contexts and “bodies”, and the possibility of multi-identity that may come with multimodality.</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; color: rgb(9, 79, 209);" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none; color: #000000" class="">Website:<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span><a href="https://sites.google.com/view/agentidentity/home" class=""><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;" class="">https://sites.google.com/view/agentidentity/home</span></a></span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; text-align: justify; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; color: rgb(9, 79, 209);" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none; color: #000000" class="">Submission: <a href="https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caimc2020" class=""> <span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;" class="">https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=caimc2020</span></a></span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Topics:</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">As talking interfaces are at a nascent stage of popularization and development, we look forward to submissions on how an identity or identities can be constructed with:</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">1) multiple modalities,</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">2) single modality across different devices, and</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">3) multiple modalities across different devices (or bodies) with diverse sets of modalities.</span></div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;" class=""> <span style="font-kerning: none" class=""></span><br class=""> </div> <div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">Which modalities signal what identity or identities, and why?
