Meeting Description:

DubDial will be the 26th edition of the SemDial workshop series, which aims to
bring together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue
in fields such as formal semantics and pragmatics, computational linguistics,
artificial intelligence, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience.

In 2022 the workshop will be hosted by the Information, Communication and
Entertainment Research Institute at Technological University Dublin, Ireland
and the SFI ADAPT Research Centre. There will also be an online component for
those who cannot travel to Dublin. Please see the website for updates closer
to the date.

This year, there will be a guiding theme for the conference: Interactivism.
The interactivist model (Bickhard, 2009) offers a new dynamic approach to
understanding language, communication, and cognition. Across many disciplines,
from philosophy to neuroscience and robotics, there is recognition that
explanations of life and mind need to be grounded in the physics of
far-from-equilibrium, interactive systems. From this starting point,
explanations have been developed for phenomena ranging from representation,
perception, and action to motivation, memory, learning and development,
emotions, consciousness, rationality, sociality, personality and
psychopathology. This work has yet to develop interfaces with studies of
specific phenomena in dialogue modelling and our purpose is to open the
discussion on how dialogue researchers can take advantage of this and related
perspectives like Enactivism and Ecological Psychology.

*SCOPE:*
We welcome submissions on this special theme of Interactivism and we continue
to welcome any papers with formal, computational and empirical approaches to
the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue, including, but not limited to:

- the dynamics of agents' information states in dialogue
- common ground / mutual belief
- goals, intentions and commitments in communication
- turn-taking and interaction control
- semantic/pragmatic interpretation in dialogue
- dialogue and discourse structure
- categorisation of dialogue phenomena in corpora
- child-adult interaction
- psycholinguistics of dialogue
- language learning through dialogue
- gesture, gaze, and intonational meaning in communication
- multimodal and multi-party dialogue
- interpretation and reasoning in spoken dialogue systems
- dialogue management
- designing and evaluating dialogue systems
- modelling miscommunication, disfluency, and repair
- applications of the Interactivist model in dialogue phenomena
- enactive approaches to interaction
- dialogue/interaction studies from an Ecological Psychology perspective
