Call For Participation
International Workshop on
Multimodal Corpora:
From Models of Natural Interaction to Systems and Applications
Tuesday, 27 May 2008
Full day workshop
Marrakech (Morocco)
http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/
In Association with LREC 2008
(the 6th International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation)
http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2008/
Main conference: 28-29-30 May 2008
Palais des Congrès Mansour Eddahbi
Marrakech (Morocco)
A 'Multimodal Corpus' targets the recording and annotation of several
communication modalities such as speech, hand gesture, facial
expression, body posture, etc. Theoretical issues are also addressed,
given their importance to the design of multimodal corpora.
This workshop continues the successful series of similar workshops at
LREC 00, 02, 04 and 06 also documented in a special issue of the
Journal of Language Resources and Evaluation due to come out in spring
2008. There is an increasing interest in multimodal communication and
multimodal corpora as visible by European Networks of Excellence and
integrated projects such as HUMAINE, SIMILAR, CHIL, AMI,
CALLAS. Furthermore, the success of recent conferences and workshops
dedicated to multimodal communication (ICMI, IVA, Gesture, PIT, Nordic
Symposia on Multimodal Communication, Embodied Language Processing)
and the creation of the Journal of Multimodal User Interfaces also
testifies to the growing interest in this area, and the general need
for data on multimodal behaviours.
The focus of this LREC 2008 workshop on multimodal corpora will be on
models of natural interaction and their contribution to the design of
multimodal systems and applications.
Topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to:
Multimodal corpus collection activities (e.g. direction-giving
dialogues, emotional behaviour, human-avatar interaction, human-robot
interaction, etc.)
Relations between modalities in natural (human) interaction and in
human-computer interaction
Application of multimodal corpora to the design of multimodal and
multimedia systems
Fully or semi-automatic multimodal annotation, using e.g. motion
capture and image processing, and its integration with manual
annotations
Corpus-based design of systems that involve human-like modalities
either in input (Virtual Reality, motion capture, etc.) and output
(virtual characters)
Multimodal interaction in specific scenarios, e.g. group interaction
in meetings
Coding schemes for the annotation of multimodal corpora
Evaluation and validation of multimodal annotations
Methods, tools, and best practices for the acquisition, creation,
management, access, distribution, and use of multimedia and multimodal
corpora
Interoperability between multimodal annotation tools (exchange
formats, conversion tools, standardization)
Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora
Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated
speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions)
Analysis methods tailored to multimodal corpora using
e.g. statistical measures or data mining.
We expect the output of this workshop to be:
1) deeper understanding of theoretical issues and research questions
related to verbal and non-verbal communication that multimodal corpora
should address,
2) larger consensus on how such corpora should be built in order to
provide useful and usable answers to research questions,
3) shared knowledge of how the corpora are contributing to multimodal
and multimedia system design, and
4) an updated view of state-of-the-art research on multimodal corpora.
Schedule and Registration Information
The workshop will consist of a morning session and an afternoon
session. There will be time for collective discussions.
For this full-day workshop, registration is possible on site or via the lrec web
