ACII 2023: CALL FOR PAPERS

The Association for the Advancement of Affective Computing (AAAC) invites you to join us at our 11th International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction (ACII), which will be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, on September 10th – 13th, 2023. 

The Conference series on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction is the premier international venue for interdisciplinary research on the design of systems that can recognize, interpret, and simulate human emotions and, more generally, affective phenomena. All accepted papers are expected to be included in IEEE Xplore (conditional on the approval by IEEE Computer Society) and indexed by EI. A selection of the best articles at ACII 2023 will be invited to submit extended versions to the IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing.

The theme of ACII 2023 is “Affective Computing: Context and Multimodality”. Fully understanding, predicting, and generating affective processes undoubtedly requires the careful integration of multiple contextual factors (e.g., gender, personality, relationships, goals, environment, situation, and culture), information modalities (e.g., audio, images, text, touch, and smells) and evaluation in ecological environments. Thus, ACII 2023 especially welcomes submitted research that assesses and advances Affective Computing’s ability to do this integration.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 

Recognition and Synthesis of Human Affect from ALL Modalities

Multimodal Modeling of Cognitive and Affective States
Contextualized Modeling of Cognitive and Affective States
Facial and Body Gesture Recognition, Modeling and Animation
Affective Speech Analysis, Recognition and Synthesis
Recognition and Synthesis of Auditory Affect Bursts (Laughter, Cries, etc.)
Motion Capture for Affect Recognition
Affect Recognition from Alternative Modalities (Physiology, Brain Waves, etc.)
Affective Text Processing and Sentiment Analysis
Multimodal Data Fusion for Affect Recognition
Synthesis of Multimodal Affective Behavior
