With few exceptions, research has focused on detection of individual persons, their nonverbal behavior in the context of emotion and related psychosocial constructs. With advances in methodology, there is increasing interest in advancing beyond the individual to social interaction of multiple individuals. This level of analysis brings to the fore detection and understanding of interpersonal influence and interpersonal synchrony in social interaction. Interpersonal synchrony in social interaction between interactive partners is the dynamic and reciprocal adaptation of their verbal and nonverbal behaviors. It affords both a novel domain for computer vision and machine learning, as well as a novel context with which to examine individual variation in cognitive, physiological, and neural processes in the interacting members. Interdisciplinary approaches to interpersonal synchrony are encouraged. Investigating these complex phenomena has both theoretical and practical applications. The proposed workshop will explore the challenges of modeling, recognition, and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. It will address theory, computational models, and algorithms for the automatic analysis and synthesis of influence and interpersonal synchrony. We wish to explore both influence and interpersonal synchrony in human-human and human-machine interaction in dyadic and multi-person scenarios. Expected topics include definition of different categories of interpersonal synchrony and influence, multimodal corpora annotation of interpersonal influence, dynamics of relevant behavioral patterns, and synthesis and recognition of verbal and nonverbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony and influence. The INTERPERSONAL workshop will afford opportunity for discussing new applications such as clinical assessment, consumer behavior analysis, and design of socially aware interfaces. The INTERPERSONAL workshop will identify and promote research challenges relevant to this exciting topic of synchrony. ______________ LIST OF TOPICS ______________ We encourage papers and demos addressing, but not limited to, the following research topics: - Theoretical approaches to interpersonal synchrony in human/human and human/machine interaction - Analysis and detection of non-verbal patterns of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Models taking into account the relationship between influence and synchrony - Analysis and detection of physiological signals - Modeling interpersonal synchrony in dyadic and in multi-party social interaction - Psychological correlates of interpersonal synchrony/influence - Analysis and detection of functional roles, persuasion, trust, dominance and so on - Recording and annotation of corpora that vary in degree of experimental control - Qualitative and quantitative evaluation - Design of social agents and dialog systems. _________________________ SUBMISSIONS AND REVISIONS _________________________ Long paper: 8 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted long papers will be presented as long talk or a poster. Short paper: 4 pages maximum in the two-column ACM format as the main conference. Accepted short papers will be presented as either a short talk or a poster. Submissions should include: title, author(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), tel/fax number(s), and postal address(es). The papers have to be submitted at the following link: <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=interpersonalicmi201> https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=interpersonalicmi201 All the contributions will be subject to a peer-review by at least three reviewers from the Program Committee. INTERPERSONAL review is double blind, that is the authors do not know the name of the reviewers and the reviewers do not know the names of the authors. As a consequence, each submission should be anonymised: please, remove the authors names and all the information that could identify the authors. __________ DEADLINES __________ July 20th, 2015: Submission deadline August 4th, 2015: Notification of acceptance August 17th, 2015: Camera ready version due to electronic form November 13th, 2015: 2015 INTERPERSONAL@xxxxxxxx Workshop ______________ ORGANIZATION ______________ Mohamed Chetouani, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (mohamed.chetouani at upmc.fr) Giovanna Varni, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (varni at isir.upmc.fr) Hanan Salam, Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics, University Pierre and Marie Curie, Paris, France (salam at isir.umpc.fr) Zakia Hammal Robotic Institute Carnegie Mellon University (zakia_hammal at yahoo.fr) Jeffrey F.
