Tilburg Gesture Research Meeting
June 19-21, 2013

Deadline for submissions: February 27, 2013 [extended deadline; we will be 
accepting manuscripts as long as it is the deadline date anywhere in the world]

News:
- The registration fee for TiGeR 2013 will be € 50 (including lunch),  
excluding the TiGeR social program and dinner (which we expect to cost  
about € 50 as well).
- We are planning to organize a special issue in Gesture on models of  
speech-gesture production; a separate call for papers will be issued  
in the summer.

TiGeR 2013 is the combined meeting of the 10th International Gesture  
Workshop (GW) and the 3rd Gesture and Speech in Interaction (GESPIN)  
conference, and is hosted by the Tilburg center for Cognition and  
Communication (TiCC) of Tilburg University, The Netherlands.

During TiGeR 2013, we aim to bring together researchers working on  
empirical and technical approaches to gesture production and  
comprehension.

The meeting will contain a special theme-session on theoretical and  
computational models of gesture and speech production. During this  
special session, we will discuss and compare competing models of the  
speech-gesture interface, both from an empirical and a technical  
perspective, with the following invited speakers:

- Sotaro Kita (University of Birmingham, UK)
- Stefan Kopp (Bielefeld University, Germany)
- Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS, France)
- Jan de Ruiter (Bielefeld University, Germany)

Two other themes that we want to highlight during TiGeR 2013 are cross- 
cultural differences in gesture production/comprehension and language  
acquisition and gesture. These topics will be addressed by our invited  
speakers:

- Nick Enfield (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen,  
The Netherlands)
- Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield, UK)

TiGeR 2013 hopes to bring together researchers working on gesture from  
the social sciences and humanities as well as researchers from  
computer science and engineering, in order to further our  
understanding of human gesture production and improve the development  
of interactive systems that exploit gesture as a means of interacting  
with machines. We invite submissions on all topics related to gesture  
production and perception. Specific topics include, but are not  
limited to, the following list:

Gesture research:

- Gesture and speech or other natural modalities
- Gesture and adaptation
- Gesture and aphasia
- Gesture in cross-cultural comparisons
- Gesture in non-human primates
- Gesture and individual differences
- Gesture and language acquisition
- Gesture and sign language
- Gesture and multimodal dialogue
- Gesture and embodied cognition
- Gesture development and learning

Gesture application:

- Gesture in virtual and augmented reality
- Automatic gesture recognition and/or generation
- Gesture in embodied conversational agents
- Gesture and social signal processing
- Gesture for gaming and entertainment
- Gesture for audio-visual applications
- Gesture for therapy and rehabilitation
- Gesture for education

We invite papers for oral as well as for posters presentations. More  
detail about how to submit can be found here: http://tiger.uvt.nl/call-for-papers.html
