The 3rd Workshop on Bridging Social Sciences and AI for Understanding Child Behaviour (https://sites.google.com/view/wocbu/home) is co-located with the 24th ACM International Conference on Multimodal Interaction (https://icmi.acm.org/2022/) to be held 7-11 November, 2022 in Bengaluru, India.
Child behaviour is a topic of wide scientific interest, among many different disciplines including social and behavioural sciences and artificial intelligence (AI). Yet, knowledge from these different disciplines is not integrated to its full potential, owing to among others the dissemination of knowledge in different outlets (journals, conferences) and different practices. In this workshop, we aim to connect these fields and fill the gaps between science and technology capabilities to address topics such as: using AI (e.g. audio, visual, neuroimaging, textual signal processing and machine learning) to better understand and model child behavioural and developmental processes, challenges and opportunities in large-scale child behaviour analysis, implementing explainable ML/AI on sensitive child data, etc. We also welcome contributions on new child-behaviour related multimodal corpora and preliminary experiments on them. After the successful first editions of WoCBU workshop held at ICMI 2020 and ICMI 2021, we are pleased to continue our efforts in bringing together researchers in this interdisciplinary topic. For this year's edition, we have already two confirmed keynote speakers.
Submission Guidelines
To facilitate integration of research communities from the social sciences and AI we accept both papers and abstracts. All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Short/long papers (with 7/14 pages* limit, respectively + extra pages for references) relevant to the themes of the workshop.
- Poster abstract paper: Abstract (with 5 pages* limit + extra pages for references) relevant to the themes of the workshop.
Submissions are handled through EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wocbu22. Please see the submission guidelines on https://sites.google.com/view/wocbu/submission-guidelines for details.
It is unsure at this time whether the ICMI and the 3rd Workshop on Bridging Social Sciences and AI for Understanding Child Behaviour will be held online or as a physical meeting. We expect to inform you soon.
