AREA - 2 at ESSLLI 2022

Host Institution: 
Website: https://www.areaworkshop.org/

Dates: 08-Aug-2022 - 12-Aug-2022
Location: Galway, Connacht, Ireland

Focus: We invite submissions on foundational, conceptual, and practical issues involving modeling actions, as described by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and videos. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

- dynamic models of actions
- formal semantic models of actions
- affordance modeling
- manipulation action modeling
- linking multimodal descriptions and presentations of actions (image, text, icon, video)
- automatic action recognition from text, images, and videos
- communicating and performing actions with robots or avatars for joint tasks
- action language grounding
- evaluation of action models

Submissions should be made at Easy Chair.
Minimum Education Level: MA


Description:
AREA II is the follow up on the first AREA meeting at LREC 2018
(http://lrec2018.areaworkshop.org/).
There has recently been increased interest in modeling actions, as described
by natural language expressions and gestures, and as depicted by images and
videos. Additionally, action modeling has emerged as an important topic in
robotics and HCI. The goal of the AREA II workshop is to gather and discuss
advances in research areas where actions are paramount e.g., virtual embodied
agents, robotics, HRI, human-computer communication, as well as modeling
multimodal human-human interactions involving actions. Action modeling is an
inherently multi-disciplinary area, involving contributions from computational
linguistics, AI, semantics, robotics, psychology, and formal logic.

While there has been considerable attention in the community paid to the
representation and recognition of events (e.g., the development of ISO-TimeML
and associated specifications, and the 4 Workshops on “EVENTS: Definition,
Detection, Coreference, and Representation”), the goals of this workshop are
focused specifically on actions undertaken by embodied agents as opposed to
events in the abstract. By concentrating on actions, we hope to attract those
researchers working in computational semantics, gesture, dialogue, HCI,
robotics, and other areas, in order to develop a community around action as a
communicative modality where their work can be communicated and shared. This
community will be a venue for the development and evaluation of resources
regarding the integration of action recognition and processing in
human-computer communication.
