Social Influence in Conversations

Submission Types

Submission Type 1: Regular workshop submissions

Regular workshop submissions are archival short (4 pages) and long (8 pages) papers. There is also a non-archival track for extended abstracts (2 pages) covering ongoing work on social influence NLP. The accepted papers of both tracks will be made publicly available on the workshop’s website. Topics include but are not limited to:

• Analysis-focused contributions (e.g., associations between linguistic behaviors or user attributes with SI task outcomes);

• System design contributions (e.g., dialogue systems for SI tasks such as strategic games, emotional support, etc.; SI systems effectively harnessing the capabilities of LLMs);

• Contributions advancing relevant subgoals in SI tasks (e.g. detecting SI strategies in text, partner/opponent modeling and emotion recognition in SI interactions);

• SI systems benefited from linguistic theories (e.g., successful persuasion, negotiation tactics) developed in social science;

• Ethical issues and guardrails involved with AI that engage in SI;

• Unintentional aspects of SI for any human-facing NLP system;

• Datasets capturing forms of SI;

• Opinion or position papers on SI.
