Meeting Description:

There has been an increasing interest in language based interactions with
technology. Driven by the commercial success of intelligent personal assistant
devices such as Alexa and Google Home, to the growth of the use of chatbots in
commercial settings, the number of natural language and conversation based
interactions is growing. Based on a successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation
conference in 2019, CUI 2020 aims to further develop a collaborative community
around human-computer interaction issues in speech and language technology,
with specific interest in theory based and applied scientific issues in the
field of speech and text based conversational user interfaces. CUI 2020 looks
to bring together relevant communities (e.g. ISCA, ACM SIGCHI, CogSci) to
publish, disseminate and showcase high quality cutting edge research related
to the field, promote insight and debate in this interesting and important
discipline within language interfaces.

Topics relevant to the conference include, but are not limited to:
- voice user experience
- speech interfaces
- speech interface theory development
- conversational interaction through technology
- text-based conversational interfaces
- chatbots
- speech synthesis
- speech recognition
- dialogue management
- conversational interface design insights
- conversational search
- methods for conversational user interface development and evaluation
- multimodal interaction involving speech, text or other language based
interfaces
