Meeting Description:
2nd International MultiModal communication SYMposium (MMSYM 2024)
The 2nd edition of MMSYM continues the symposium series on multimodal
communication previously held as the 1st MMSYM in Barcelona (2023), as
European Symposia in Leuven (2019), Bielefeld (2017), Copenhagen
(2016), Tartu (2014) and Malta (2013), and even earlier as Nordic
(2003-2012) and Swedish Symposia (1997-2000). The symposium aims at
gaining insights into the interaction and/or co-dependence of visual
and acoustic modes of communication. To advance our understanding of
communication, the symposium aims at further integrating multimodality
as an integral part of linguistics and cognitive science.
We welcome innovative contributions in the broader field of multimodal
communication. Investigating multimodality extends our knowledge about
various ways of communication beyond (spoken) language.
This year’s symposium has a particular interest in three main research
themes: (1) The gesture-speech integration, in particular the prosody
gesture link, (2) formal, automatic and machine-learning approaches to
multimodality, and (3) psycholinguistic approaches in multimodal
settings. For MMSYM 2024, we particularly encourage contributions
relating to the conference themes.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
• Annotation schemes and tools for multimodal data
• Articulation-Gesture-coordination
• Automatic recognition and interpretation of different
modalities and their interaction
• Formal implementation of multimodality
• Intercultural aspects of multimodal behavior
• Kinematics of bodily movements
• Machine and deep learning techniques applied to multimodal
data
• Memory effects in multimodal settings
• Multimodal aspects of language acquisition and learning (both
L1 and L2)
• Multimodal communication disorders and communication support
• Multimodal corpora
• Multimodal dialogue systems
• Multimodal health communication
• Multimodal human-computer interaction and conversational
agents
• Multimodal language processing
• Prosody-Gesture-Integration
• Semantic and pragmatic functions of multimodality
• Speech and gestures in human communication
Invited speakers:
Petra Wagner, Bielefeld University

We invite abstract submissions for 20-minute oral presentations (15
minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for discussion) or posters
of original, unpublished work on any aspect of multimodal
communication. Abstracts should be written in English and should be
submitted via OpenReview.net
(https://openreview.net/group?id=MMSYM.org/2024/Symposium). Do not
include author names or affiliations, and submit as property-free PDF
file. Authors may submit one abstract as first author, but multiple
abstracts as a co-author. Choose at least one topic for your
submission.
Please use the MMSYM Template for abstract submission, see conference
website: www.mmsym.org.
For technical questions regarding abstract submissions, please contact
mmsym.pc at gmail.com.
