The AFFINE workshop will cover real-time computational techniques for the recognition and interpretation of human affective and social behaviour, models of “mentalising” and “empathising” for affective interaction in naturalistic settings, and techniques for synthesis of believable social behaviour supporting real-time adaptive human-agent and human-robot interaction in real-world environments. This year AFFINE especially welcomes studies that provide new insights into the use of multimodal techniques for enabling interaction between humans and technology “in the wild”, i.e., in natural, everyday, non-laboratory settings.
