    CALL FOR PAPERS: THE AAAI-21 WORKSHOP ON AFFECTIVE CONTENT ANALYSIS

     

    Affect in Collaborative Creation

     

     

    AffCon-2021 is the fourth Affective Content Analysis workshop @ AAAI. The workshop series (i) builds upon the state of the art in neural and AI methods for modeling affect in interpersonal interactions and behaviors, and (ii) brings a confluence of research viewpoints representing several disciplines.

     

    This year, collaboration takes on an extra meaning in a physically distanced world, where everyone relies more heavily on computer-mediated cooperation. Understanding the dynamics of affect in collaborative content is more topical. The theme for AffCon@AAAI-2021 is 'Affect in Collaborative Creation', relevant for increasingly decentralized workplaces, asynchronous collaborations, and computer-mediated communication. The general topics of interest include, but are not limited to Focus areas:

    •             Affect in Collaborative Content

    •             Affect in Communication co-creation

    •             Affective Reactions in Co-creation and collaboration

    •             Affectively responsive interfaces

    •             Deep learning-based models for affect modeling in content (image, audio, and video)

    •             Mirroring affect

    •             Psycho--demographic Profiling

    •             Affect--based Text Generation

    •             Multi-modal Affect

    •             Stylometrics, Typographics, and Psycho-linguistics

    •             Cognitive and psychological computational models of creativity

    •             Affective needs and Firm-Consumer co-creation Behavior

    •             Computational models for Consumer Behavior theories of innovation

    •             Affective Lexica for Online Marketing Communication

    •             Affective human-agent, human-computer, and human-robot interaction

     

    Submit to our workshop at AAAI! It's our 4th year and we always have the coolest speakers.

    CALL FOR SHARED TASK SUBMISSIONS: We introduce the CLAff-GoTeam dataset this year, which examines the role of affect in inter- and intra-team trust. It builds on the Diplomacy dataset from Vlad Niculae, Srijan Kumar, Jordan Boyd-Graber, and Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, with additional annotations, and derived outcomes related to collaborations.
