We are excited with the two excelent keynotes that promisse to look at multimodal dialog systems from very different standpoints.

Augmenting Machine Intelligence
with Multimodal Information
Prof. Zhou Yu (University of California at Davies, USA)

Response Generation and Retrieval in
Multimodal Conversational AI
Prof. Verena Rieser (Heriot-Watt University, UK)

We look forward to these valuable and insightful talks by two leading experts.

We invite attendees to participate in the Vision and Challenges in Multimodal Conversational AI panel discussion. The panel will address technological, ethical, legal and social aspects of conversational search. Both audience and panelist are invited to engage in a brainstorm session to discuss all these aspects.

Panelists

Prof. Alex Rudnicky (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)

Prof. Zhou Yu (University of California at Davies, USA)

Prof. Verena Rieser (Heriot-Watt University, UK)

Prof. Xavier Alameda-Pineda (INRIA)

The articles accepted in Workshop have actively addressed several of relevant challenges in multimodal conversational AI: How to include assistive-technologies in dialog systems? How can agents engage in negotiation in dialogs? and how to handle emotion in multimodal dialog?

Together with the keynotes and the panel, the papers show how the community is exploring a very diverse set of research challenges.
