Meeting Description:

The 1st International Multimodal Communication Symposium (MMSYM 2023) will be
held from Thursday 27th to Friday 28th April 2023 at Universitat Pompeu Fabra
in Barcelona, Catalonia.

MMSYM 2023 follows up on a tradition established by the Swedish Symposia on
Multimodal Communication held from 1997 until 2000, and continued by the
Nordic Symposia on Multimodal Communication held from 2003 to 2012. Since
2013, the symposium has acquired a broader European dimension, with editions
held in Malta (2013), Tartu (2014), Dublin (2015), Copenhagen (2016),
Bielefeld (2017), and Leuven (2019). To acknowledge its international
ambition, this year, the symposium in Barcelona has updated its name to 1st
International Multimodal Communication Symposium. 

The symposium is locally organized at Universitat Pompeu Fabra with the
support of the research groups collaborating within the GEHM network (GEstures
and Head Movements in Language,
https://cst.ku.dk/english/projects/gestures-and-head-movements-in-language-geh
m/), whose goal is to foster research into the way hand gestures and head
movements interact with speech in face-to-face and human-computer multimodal
communication.


Call for Papers:

We welcome works aimed at exploring different approaches to multimodal
communication, including research on multimodality in human communication
and/or in human-computer interaction. In addition, this year’s symposium has a
particular interest in three main research themes:
1) the language-specific characteristics of gesture-speech interaction
2) multimodal prominence
3) the conceptual and statistical modelling of multimodal contributions, with
particular regard to head movements and the use of gaze.

Therefore, we particularly encourage contributions dealing with––but not
limited to––the three topics described above.

The symposium will feature keynote talks by three confirmed invited speakers:
- Alan Cienki, Professor of Language Use & Cognition and English Linguistics,
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Website:
https://research.vu.nl/en/persons/alan-cienki
- Jelena Krivokapić, Associate Professor in Linguistics, University of
Michigan. Website: https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/jelenakrivokapic/
- Catherine Pelachaud, Director of Research, Institute of Intelligent Systems
and Robotics, Campus Pierre et Marie Curie, Sorbonne Université. Website:
https://www.isir.upmc.fr/personnel/pelachaud/

Abstract submission guidelines:
1)  Abstracts should be written in English and should not exceed 2 A4 pages
(max. 700 words) including examples, figures and references. The format should
