Meeting Description:

Smiles and laughs have drawn a lot of interest from researchers of different
backgrounds and perspectives, especially in the past couple of decades, thus
providing the community with a deeper understanding of the highly important
roles smiles and laughs play in our daily interactions. These studies also
showed the limitations and difficulties that come with processing and
analysing them. Building on previous work, established communities and
multidisciplinary research projects, the main goal of this workshop is to
highlight the current research on smiling and laughter in general and from all
disciplines, but also to particularly encourage work on these areas which we
observe to be relatively understudied despite being of great interest under
many perspectives. Especially we would like to encourage the sharing of
methods and resources to tackle these “slippery” and sometimes hard to tackle
communicative behaviours. With that mindset, we invite the sharing of
perspectives between computer scientists, linguists, engineers, and
psychologists contributing to push further the state-of-the-art. Especially
with respect to the goal of this workshop, we encourage:

- Work on smiling and laughter in adult-adult interactions, but also
adult-child, child-child and human-agent interactions. This in neuro-typical
but also in neuro-different and clinical populations in the most varied
contexts.

- Work aimed at exploring the relationship between laughter, smiling and other
modalities (e.g. speech, gaze, gestures etc.) to convey meaning in interaction
and manage conversations.

- Work aimed at deepening our understanding of the smiling/laughter
relationship (between each other or on each other, on the subjects themselves
or their interlocutors), having insight on whether and (eventually) when it
can be considered scalar or not.

- Work with a focus on the smiling and laughter intensity / arousal levels
dimension.

- Work focussing on the cognitive processes behind the perception and
production of smiling and laughter in themselves or in interaction with
linguistic material and other modalities.

For each of these areas theoretical, observational, or experimental
(behavioural/neuro-imaging) studies are welcome. We hope that this workshop
will consolidate/create a solid network of collaboration and sharing across
different disciplines and fields.
