Personalisation can significantly enhance human-robot interactions in various real-world scenarios by increasing engagement through tailored content, building trust and rapport, improving adherence to the interaction, and enhancing task performance so configuring such a technology is a viable means for inclusiveness. Nonetheless, developing robots capable of doing so necessitates endowing them with specific perceptual capabilities on multimodal inputs and reasoning capabilities along with designing them with the main stakeholders to ensure that their needs can be properly encountered. The special session on Personalization of Robot\u2019s Multimodal Behavior aims to bring together a multidisciplinary group of researchers from areas including, but not limited to, psychology, neuroscience, computer science, robotics, and sociology, to share and discuss current approaches to empowering robots with adaptive and learning capabilities to foster research and development of robotic solutions specifically designed for meeting the individual\u2019s unique needs.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>How to submit a special session paper:<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Special session papers follow the same submission process and timeline as the ICMI main track papers.

ICMI is the premier international forum that brings together multimodal artificial intelligence (AI) and social interaction research. Multimodal AI encompasses technical challenges in machine learning and computational modeling such as representations, fusion, data, and systems.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5><strong>Important Dates<\/strong><\/h5>\n<table style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">Special Session Proposal Submission Deadline<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">February 18th, 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notification of Acceptance<br \/><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">February, 2024<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><b>Special Session Proposals<br \/><\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special sessions provide an opportunity to explore emerging topics within multimodal interaction and are a key part of this year\u2019s conference program. We are seeking proposals that will enhance the conference&#8217;s diversity and offer valuable insights into the conference theme of &#8220;Equitability and environmental sustainability in multimodal interaction technologies\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prospective special session organizers are invited to submit proposals via <\/span><a href=\"mailto:icmi2024-specialsession-chairs@acm.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">icmi2024-specialsession-chairs@acm.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

We prioritize proposals that meet these criteria and welcome submissions from underrepresented communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The organizers of accepted special sessions will actively participate in the high-quality peer review process for submitted papers, following ICMI standards for the main track papers. They will serve as Area Chairs (ACs) for their proposed sessions, being responsible for tasks such as assigning reviewers and facilitating discussion phases. Papers submitted to an accepted Special Session will follow the same review process as the main conference track papers, including the same submission system (PCS), formatting guidelines (short or long papers), notification dates, and a rigorous peer review process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For any questions and further information about the Special Sessions, please email <\/span><a href=\"mailto:icmi2024-specialsession-chairs@acm.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">icmi2024-specialsession-chairs@acm.org<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We look forward to your contributions and seeing you in San Jos\u00e9, Costa Rica, for ICMI 2024!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special Session on Personalization of Robot\u2019s Multimodal Behavior The success of personal robots is related to their ability to autonomously tailor their behaviour according to the individual\u2019s culture, preferences, and cognitive and physical abilities.
