>> In Association with LREC2006 (the 5th International Conference on 
>> Language Resources and Evaluation)
>> http://www.lrec-conf.org/lrec2006/
>> Main Conference 24-25-26 May 2006
>> Magazzini del Cotone Conference Center
>> Genoa - Italy
>>
>> -------------------------
>> MOTIVATIONS
>> -------------------------
>>
>> 'Multimodal Corpora' target the recording and annotation of several 
>> communication modalities
>> such as speech, hand gesture, facial expression, body posture, etc.
>> Theoretical issues are also addressed, given their importance to  the 
>> design of multimodal corpora.
>>
>> This workshop follows similar events held at LREC'2000, LREC'2002  and 
>> LREC'2004.
>> There is an increasing interest in multimodal communication and 
>> multimodal corpora
>> as visible by recently launched European Networks of Excellence
>> and integrated projects such as HUMAINE, SIMILAR, CHIL and AMI,
>> and similar efforts in the USA and in Asia.
>> Furthermore, the success of recent conferences dedicated to multimodal
>> communication (ICMI'2005, IVA'2005, Interacting Bodies'2005,
>> Nordic Symposium on Multimodal Communication 2005) also testifies  the 
>> growing interest in this area,
>> and the general need for data on multimodal behaviours.
>>
>> The focus of this LREC'2006 workshop on multimodal corpora will be  on 
>> non-verbal communication studies
>> and their contribution to the definition of collection protocols,  coding 
>> schemes,
>> inter-coder agreement measures and reliable models of multimodal 
>> behaviour that can be built
>> from corpora and compared to results that can be found in the 
>> literature.
>>
>> Topics to be addressed in the workshop include, but are not limited  to:
>> - Studies of multimodal behaviour
>> - Multimodal interaction in groups and meetings
>> - Building models of behaviour from multiple sources of knowledge : 
>> manual annotation, image processing, motion capture, literature  studies
>> - Coding schemes for the annotation of multimodal video corpora
>> - Validation of multimodal annotations
>> - Exploitation of multimodal corpora in different types of  applications 
>> (information extraction, information retrieval,  meeting transcription, 
>> multi-modal interfaces, translation,  summarisation, www services, 
>> communication and clinical studies,  HCI design)
>> - Methods, tools, and best practices for the acquisition, creation, 
>> management, access, distribution, and use of multimedia and  multimodal 
>> corpora
>> - Metadata descriptions of multimodal corpora
>> - Benchmarking of systems and products; use of multimodal corpora  for 
>> the evaluation of real systems
>> - Automated multimodal fusion and/or generation (e.g., coordinated 
>> speech, gaze, gesture, facial expressions)
>>
>> We expect the output of this one day workshop to be:
>> 1) a deeper understanding of the theoretical issues and research 
>> questions
>> related to verbal and non-verbal communication that multimodal  corpora 
>> should address,
>> 2) how such corpora should be built in order to provide useful and 
>> usable answers
>> to research questions,
>> and 3) an updated view of state-of-the-art research on multimodal 
>> corpora.
