Topics: emotion recognition cognitive computing artificial intelligence
social robots
Affective
computing became a key scenario for Artificial Intelligence.
Various
emotion-mining techniques can be exploited for creating and automating
personalized interfaces or subcomponent technology for larger systems, i.e. in business intelligence, affective tutoring,
recommender systems, social robots.
Different
from sentiment analysis, this approach works at a deeper level of abstraction,
aiming to recognize specific emotions and not only the positive/negative
sentiment, to extract, manage and predict emotions in limited sets, basing on
well-accepted or novel models, thus to use them to be
reported/classified or understood/elicited/expressed by a machine.
The
aim of the ACER workshop is to explore the Emotion Recognition area in depth,
and to present, discuss and ideate novel affective computing and emotion
recognition techniques in WI-related task, providing a cross-fertilized network
of
different
communities focused on research, development and
applications of emotion recognition.
ACER
invites original high-quality papers: conceptual, empirical as well as
theoretical papers are welcome; graduate students are invited to submit their
thesis
showcase;
experienced researchers are warmly invited to submit novel or updated versions
of their work.
The
ACER-EMORE co-located workshop aims also to create a network of research for
future events and publications on Affective Computing, as already established
in the previous editions (EMORE2017@ICCSA Trieste, Italy; ACER2017@IEEE/ACM/WIC
WI Leipzig, Germany, with the special issue Emotional Machines: the next
revolution in the Web
Intelligence Journal; EMORE@ICCSA2018 Melbourne, Australia; ACER-EMORE@ICCSA2019 Saint
Petersburg, Russia; ACER@WI2019 Thessaloniki, Greece; ACER@ICCSA2020, Cagliari,
Italy; EMORE@BI2021, Padova, Italy; ACER-EMORE@WI2021, Melbourne, Australia).
Aiming
at this collaboration path, ACER-EMORE also welcomes papers on ongoing projects
and PhD showcases, as well as applications, data sets, novel techniques, and
multimodal or interdisciplinary approaches to emotion recognition.
Cooperation
between humans and machines for a shared action or goal is a desirable outcome.

WI-IAT
ACER-EMORE
will be located at the 21st IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology, held in Niagara
Falls, Canada, on November 17-20 2022. The 21st IEEE/WIC/ACM International Joint
Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'22)
provides a premier international forum to bring
together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields for presentation of
original research results, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative
and practical development experiences on Web intelligence and intelligent agent
technology research and applications.
The first international joint conference of Web Intelligence and
Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT'01) was held in Maebashi, Japan, 2001.
Then, it followed by WI-IAT'03 in Halifax, Canada, WI-IAT'04 in Beijing, China,
WI-IAT'05 in Compiegne, France, WI- IAT '06 in Hong Kong, WI-IAT'07 in Silicon
Valley, USA, WI-IAT'08 in Sydney, Australia, WI-IAT'09 in Milano, Italy,
WI-IAT'10 in Toronto, Canada, WI-IAT'11 in Lyon, France, WI-IAT'12 in Macau,
China, WI-IAT'13 in Atlanta, USA, WI-IAT'14 in Warsaw, Poland, and WI-IAT'15 in
Singapore. The goal of WI-IAT conferences is to provide a global forum for
scientists, engineers and educators to present the
latest WI-IAT technologies, discuss how to develop future intelligent systems
for complex applications. After these years, in 2016, WI-IAT conferences have
been merged as one brand (WI'16 in Omaha, USA, WI'17 in Leipzig, Germany, WI'18
in Santiago de Chile, WI'19 in Thessaloniki, Greece, and WI-IAT 2021 in
Melbourne, Australia) by redefining and vitalizing the WI aims and topics. In
recognition of the strong connection of Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent
Technology, the classic brand of WI-IAT was resumed in 2020.
Papers must be submitted electronically via CyberChair in standard IEEE Conference Proceedings format
(max 8 pages, templates at
https://www.ieee.org/conferences/publishing/templates.html). Submitted papers
will undergo a peer review process, coordinated by the International Program
Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by
IEEE and submitted to EI. Selected WI-IAT'22 papers will be further invited for
expansion and publication in Web Intelligence journal and other international
journals.
Once in the Acer-Emore Submission Website, select “Submit a new paper” and enter the required information.
Papers on applications,
case studies, and data sets are welcome, as well as master/PhD thesis
showcases. Each paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for
publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of
the authors).
Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper is accepted, at least
one of the authors should register and present orally the paper in the conference.
Failure to do so shall lead to exclusion of the paper from the proceedings.
Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at
least three PC members on the basis of technical
quality, relevance, originality, significance and clarity. Accepted papers will
be published in the conference proceedings by the ACM Press and published in
the conference proceedings, which in the past years have been always indexed in
Scopus and WoS. Selected papers will be further
invited for expansion and publication in Web Intelligence journal and other
international journals.
The 21st IEEE/WIC/ACM
International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology, including the ACER-EMORE workshop,
will be held on November 17-20, 2022 in Niagara Falls, Canada, and online.
