<div>Please find below the invitation to contribute to the 4th
Workshop on Social Affective Multimodal for Health (SAMIH 2023) to
be held in conjunction with the ICMI 2023. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Workshop description</b></div>
<div>
<div>This workshop is looking for works describing how multimodal
technology can be used in healthcare for measuring and training
social-affective interactions. Sensing technology analyzes
users’ 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, relevant
scenarios, and 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,
schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and a much larger group
of social pathological phenomena. </div>
<div>In this workshop, we invite participants from academia,
industry, or clinical settings to present and discuss the
social-affective design of multimodal training for health.</div>

<div><b>Workshop topic</b></div>
<div>The following keywords describe the topics of the workshop.</div>
<div>- Social signal processing, Affective computing,
Physiological signal processing, Virtual agents, Social robotics</div>
<div>- Social skills training, Motivational interview, Cognitive
behavioral therapy</div>
<div>All accepted workshop papers will be printed in companion
proceedings of ICMI. The workshop organizers will oversee the
review process for their workshops. In order to allow a
multidisciplinary setup, it will be possible to accept short
papers. We believe this will enable us to have participation
from disciplines who traditionally do not submit full papers to
conferences or workshops.</div>
<div>We will ask external reviewers in addition to the internal
reviewers. The review process is a Single-blind review.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Paper format</b></div>
<div>Short paper: maximum length is 4 pages (double-column).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>Publication</b></div>
<div>Proceedings will be published as adjunct proceedings to the
ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction 2023.</div>
