Meeting Description: 

Situated or multimodal communication, in which speakers exploit various
aspects of the non-linguistic context to communicate a message, is a fact of
life for face-to-face conversations. Its analysis is of fundamental importance
for modelling the interpretation of everyday conversations and human-robot
interactions. This workshop will bring together both linguists and computer
scientists to discuss foundational, conceptual, and practical issues involving
situated and multimodal communication. Relevant topics include: the nature of
the non-linguistic context; the range of ways that gesture and speech exploit
the non-linguistic context and how they exploit it differently; the practical
and/or computational advantages of using non-linguistic context to convey
meaning; methods for measuring the effects of non-linguistic context on
meaning; the exploitation of corpora to analyze multimodal communication;
modelling agents for human-robot interactions; whether and how to ensure that
interlocutors have a coherent vision of the external world; modelling
different perspectives on the same non-linguistic scene; message
disambiguation.
