LAUGHTER WORKSHOP 2018
Following the previous workshops on laughter held in Saarbruecken
<http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/conf/laughter-07/>(2007), Berlin
<http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/conf/laughter-09/>(2009), Dublin
<http://www.coli.uni-saarland.de/conf/laughter-12/>(2012) and Enschede
<https://laughterworkshop2015.wordpress.com/about-the-workshop/>(2015),
we have the pleasure to announce a forthcoming workshop in Paris, France
in September 2018.
Non-verbal vocalisations in human-human and human-machine interactions
play important roles in displaying social and affective behaviors and in
controlling the flow of interaction. Laughter, sighs, filled pauses, and
short utterances such as feedback responses are among some of the
non-verbal vocalisations that have been studied previously from various
research fields. However, much is still unknown about the phonetic or
visual characteristics of non-verbal vocalisations (production/encoding)
and their relations to their intentions and perceived meanings
(perception/decoding) in interaction.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists from diverse
research areas and to provide an exchange forum for interdisciplinary
discussions in order to gain a better understanding of laughter and
other non-verbal vocalisations. The workshop will consist of invited
talks and oral presentations of ongoing research and discussion papers.
We invite contributions concerning laughter and other non-verbal
vocalisations from the fields of phonetics, linguistics, psychology,
conversation analysis, social signal processing, and human-machine/robot
interaction. In particular, topics related to the following aspects are
very much welcomed:
* Multimodal interaction: visual aspects of non-verbal vocalisations,
e.g., smiles, relation between non-verbal vocalisations and visual behaviors
* Social and affective behavior: decoding and encoding of
emotion/socio-related states in non-verbal vocalisations
* Conversation: (pragmatic) role of non-verbal vocalisations in dialog
* Computation: automatic analysis and generation of non-verbal vocalisations
