Overview

ICMI is the premier international forum for multidisciplinary research on multimodal human-human and human-computer interaction, interfaces, and system development. The conference focuses on theoretical and empirical foundations, component technologies, and combined multimodal processing techniques that define the field of multimodal interaction analysis, interface design, and system development. The theme for this year’s conference is “Intelligent and responsible Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) in the multi-lingual real world”. Embodied Conversational Agents (ECAs) enable natural Human Computer Interaction, inspired by human-human communication. With rapid advances in multimodal analysis, dialog, and synthesis technologies, intelligent ECAs are set to enter real-world applications. The expected intelligence includes cognitive, social, and emotional facets that humans routinely display in conversations
