YRRSDS (http://www.yrrsds.org/) is an annual workshop for graduate students, postdoctoral students, and junior researchers working on spoken dialogue systems in both academia and industry. The workshop serves as an interdisciplinary forum for creative thinking about current issues in spoken dialogue systems research and helps to create an international network of young researchers working in the field.
Please note that by "young researchers" the workshop's organizers mean to target students and researchers in the field who are at a relatively early stage of their careers, and in no way mean to imply that participants must meet certain age restrictions.
The 17th annual Young Researchers’ Roundtable on Spoken Dialogue Systems (YRRSDS) will be held virtually (collocated with SIGdial) on July 27th and 28th, 2021.
Submission Guidelines
* Please note that every participant is required to submit a position paper and present a poster *
We invite researchers at an early stage of their career (no age limit) to submit a 2-page position paper (excl. references).
This should include their past, present and future work, a short bio, and topic suggestions for discussions. Five-minutes presentation by all participants is expected. However, posters can also concern current work and not necessarily be from a published paper.
We invite broad participation. Example submission topics include, but are not limited to:
-
Models of dialogue: statistical, symbolic, and hybrid approaches
-
Evaluation methodology for dialogue systems
-
Semantics, pragmatics, and context in dialogue systems
-
Incremental spoken dialogue systems
-
Situated interaction with virtual and robotic agents
-
Psycholinguistic influences on dialogue system design
-
Establishing social relationships and engagement with the user
-
Data collection and dataset sharing for statistical models
-
Industry development cycles, requirements, and applications
