[Workshop description]<br class="">
This workshop is looking for works describing how interactive,
multimodal technology such as virtual agents can be used in social
skills training for measuring and training social-affective
interactions. Sensing technology now enables analyzing user’s
behaviors and physiological signals (heart-rate, EEG, etc.).
Various signal processing and machine learning methods can be used
for such prediction tasks. Beyond sensing, it is also important
to analyze human behaviors and model and implement training
methods (e.g., by virtual agents, social robots, relevant
scenarios, design appropriate and personalized feedback about
social skills performance). Such social signal processing and
tools can be applied to measure and reduce social stress in
everyday situations, including public speaking at schools and
workplaces. Target populations include depression, Social Anxiety
Disorder (SAD), Schizophrenia, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), but
also a much larger group of different social
pathological phenomena.<br class="">
In this workshop, we invite participants from academia, industry
or clinical settings to present and discuss social-affective
design of multimodal training for health.</div>
