Swedish Workshop on Conversational AI

The Swedish Workshop on Conversational AI aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advancements and challenges in the field of conversational artificial intelligence, dialogue systems, human-robot interaction and intelligent agents. The workshop seeks to foster collaboration, share cutting-edge research, and explore the practical applications of conversational AI technologies in various domains. Key objectives include:

- Presenting recent research findings and innovations in conversational AI.

- Discussing practical applications, challenges, and future directions.

- Encouraging collaboration between academia and industry.

- Providing a platform for networking and knowledge exchange.

The workshop can be seen as a follow-up on (and a replacement to) the Swedish Dialogue Workshop, which has been running since almost 20 years. 

Location and Time

The workshop will be a co-located with SLTC in Linköping on November 29, 2024. The exact location and time will be announced later on. We aim for a full-day workshop. 

Participation and contributions

We welcome participants from both academia and industry. We invite submissions of abstracts that will be presented orally. Since the main purpose of the presentations is to spark discussions and disseminate work on Conversational AI in Sweden, they will not be considered archival. Thus, we allow for a large variety of contributions, including work that has or will be presented elsewhere, work-in-progress, opinions, or demonstrations. 

You can register through this form, regardless of whether you would like to present or not. Registration is free of charge. Lunch and coffee will be provided. 

Registration deadline if you wish to present is November 15.

Registration deadline if you do not wish to present is November 22.
