[iva] (CfP) SAMIH 2023: 4th Workshop on Social Affective Multimodal for Health

[Catherine Pelachaud]

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.

*Workshop description*
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.
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.

*Workshop topic*
The following keywords describe the topics of the workshop.
- Social signal processing, Affective computing, Physiological signal 
processing, Virtual agents, Social robotics
- Social skills training, Motivational interview, Cognitive behavioral 
therapy
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.
We will ask external reviewers in addition to the internal reviewers. 
The review process is a Single-blind review.

*Paper format*
Short paper: maximum length is 4 pages (double-column).

*Publication*
Proceedings will be published as adjunct proceedings to the ACM 
International Conference on Multimodal Interaction 2023.

*Important dates*
Workshop papers due: July 23, 2023
Notification of acceptance: August 8, 2023
Camera-ready paper: August 13, 2023
Workshop date: 9 October 2023
