[iva] [Deadline extended] Workshop on Crossmodal Social Animation

[Yukiko Nakano]

*Call for Papers*

*New submission deadline is July24th!*

The 1st Workshop on *Crossmodal Social Animation *(
https://sites.google.com/view/xs-anim/)  is co-located with the
International Conference on Computer Vision to held from October 11-17,
2021 in Montreal, Canada (held virtually this year)

We are in the middle of a revolution for artificial intelligence where new
technologies are becoming more interactive (e.g., virtual assistant such
Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Cortina). The next generation of these
interactive technologies is likely to present some embodiment, such as
virtual character or social robot. It is essential to better understand the
link between human body motion and other communicative channels such as
language and speech. This research has the potential to enable more
realistic and engaging social interactions, which are central in sharing
knowledge, ideas and important parts of successful collaborations and
teamwork. Furthermore, it also encourages the study of effective
communication by intelligent tutoring systems in classroom settings,
empathy in clinical psychology and tools to aid animation generation. It is
also a key building block for forging new relationships through
self-expression as well as understanding others' emotions and thoughts.
