CHAI Workshop

July 24, 2022


Welcome to the Communication in Human-AI Interaction Workshop.

The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring together experts from AI, HCI, and Cognitive Sciences to explore and understand the specificities and characteristics of communication in human-AI interactions, as well as the salient principles, methods, and theories one has to consider to build meaningful human-AI communication systems.

Call for Contributions


Human interactions with AI systems are becoming part of our everyday life. If designed and developed efficiently, these interactions have great potential in enhancing human work, abilities, and well-being. Communication, here the iterative process of establishing shared meaning, is a crucial aspect of successful interaction and has been studied for years, from AI, HCI, and cognitive sciences points of view, among others.

We welcome papers presenting models, theories, and user studies across the topics of interest, as well as preliminary results and presentation of ongoing research.


Topics

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

  • Human-AI Communication Design
  • Dialog Systems
  • Language and Communication
  • Communication and Interaction
  • Cooperation

  • Interpersonal Communication
  • Theory of Mind
  • Common ground
  • Non-verbal Communication
  • Inclusion and Diversity in Human-AI Communication
