Meeting Description:

Workshop held in conjunction with ICON 2021 (http://icon2021.nits.ac.in/)

Natural Conversation between humans and machines similar to conversations
between two humans is considered a hallmark in intelligent systems.
Conversational AI (Artificial Intelligence) is a key area of AI and it refers
to technologies, such as chatbots or virtual agents, to which users can talk
to as in by two humans.

Most of the research and development done in this area is in English where the
medium of conversation is in the English language. There is very little work
done in Indian languages and hardly any system developed where real time
conversation is taking place.
There is an urgent need to come up with methods, technologies, and evaluation
metrics for chatbot/conversational systems research which uses an end-to-end
conversation in Indian languages.

In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers working in the area of
Conversational AI/chatbot developers, specifically addressing issues or
providing solutions in Indian languages, which is the need of the hour.


Call for Papers:

Papers are invited on substantial, original and unpublished research (also
work in progress, authors must mention this in the paper) on all aspects of
Conversational Artificial Intelligence, with a special focus on Indian
languages.
We also welcome other languages which are less resourced and are not
researched up on. (not English)

Workshop Organizers

Sobha Lalitha Devi, AU-KBC Research Centre, Chennai, India.
