CITEC Summer School 2012: Verbal and Non-verbal Interaction 

Date: 27-Aug-2012 - 31-Aug-2012 
Location: Bielefeld, Germany 
Contact: Claudia Muhl 
Contact Email: summerschool at cit-ec.uni-bielefeld.de 
Meeting URL: http://www.cit-ec.de/summerschool 

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Humans, as well as animal, artificial, or human-virtual agents are continuously confronted with the problem of understanding.
 
What are the mechanisms that shape communicative behavior, what makes it so efficient in natural environments, and what are the keys for the improvement of it in artificial contexts?
 
Dialogue coordination (alignment) in normal and noisy environments, intention understanding (pragmatic and joint attention), non-verbal cues (gestures and facial expressions decoding), and asymmetric communication are some common challenges for interactive systems, and they require efficient verbal and non-verbal mechanisms.
 
The CITEC Summer School 2012 will focus on such mechanisms from the perspective of experimental psychology, computational modeling, gestures studies, animal communication and human-machine interactions, and will offer keynote lectures and discussions with world-renowned experts in these fields, along with hands-on tutorial streams for deepening and practicing theoretical notions and experimental skills. 

The summer school will comprise morning lectures by invited speakers, as well as practical workshops in the afternoons. For these afternoon courses, you may select one from the following five streams: 
 Stream 1: Development of joint action
 Stream 2: Gesture in communication
 Stream 3: Multi-modal data recording and analysis
 Stream 4: Verbal and non-verbal interaction in social neuroscience
 Stream 5: Distributed cognition and coordination in interaction

Keynote speakers:
Martha Alibali | Department of Psychology, University of Wisconsin - Madison, USA
Kerstin Dautenhahn | Adaptive Systems Research Group, University of Hartfordshire, United Kingdom
Hiroshi Ishiguro | Department of Adaptive Machine Systems, Osaka University, Japan
Katja Liebal | Cluster Languages of Emotion, FU Berlin, Germany 
Ivan Toni | Cognitive Psychology and Motor Cognition Radboud University Nijmegen, The Netherlands

Application Deadline: June 20th, 2012
