Analysis and understanding of human-human conversations has stressed the importance of modeling all available verbal and non-verbal signals occurring in conversations to develop human-machine interfaces that are capable of interpreting the multimodal signals in human conversations as well as generating natural and synchronized responses. While the focus of research has been primarily to dyadic interactions, multiparty interactions as communicative setups involving more than two participants are a complex, yet challenging construct that merits attention. Understanding and modelling the multiparty configuration and the underlying affective and social behavior of the participants address the design of interfaces that (a) can follow and participate in the conversation, (b) present interactional skills to control the interaction flow, (c) respond to it in the appropriate timing and as naturally as possible, (d) keep track of the multimodal conversation of the participants as well as (e ) guarantee a high and balanced level of involvement between them. This workshop aims to explore this growing area of multiparty multimodal interaction by bridging this multidisciplinary area and bringing together researchers from domains of dialog systems, multimodal conversation analysis, multimodal user interfaces and multimodal signal processing.
