14 - 18 June 2021, First Workshop on Multimodal Semantic Representations (MMSR 2021): Beyond Language, Virtual
The demand for more sophisticated natural human-computer and human-robot interactions is rapidly increasing as users become more accustomed to conversation-like interactions with AI and NLP systems. Such interactions require not only the robust recognition and generation of expressions through multiple modalities (language, gesture, vision, action, etc.), but also the encoding of situated meaning.
This workshop intends to bring together researchers who aim to capture elements of multimodal interaction such as language, gesture, gaze, and facial expression with formal semantic representations. We provide a space for both theoretical and practical discussion of how linguistic co-modalities support, inform, and align with 'meaning' found in the linguistic signal alone. MMSR 2021 is co-located with IWCS 2021.
We solicit papers on multimodal semantic representation. Two types of submissions are solicited: long papers and short papers. Long papers should describe original research and must not exceed 8 pages, excluding references. Short papers (typically system or project descriptions, or ongoing research) must not exceed 4 pages, excluding references. Both types will be published in the workshop proceedings and in the ACL Anthology. Accepted papers get an extra page in the camera-ready version. We strongly encourage students to submit to the workshop and will consider a student session depending on the number of submissions.
