ACM In-cooperation CUI 2021 - 3rd International ACM In-cooperation
Conference on Conversational User Interfaces

Hybrid Event (online and on site at Bilbao, Spain) | 27-29 July 2021

Twitter: @CUI_Conference #cui2021

There has been an increasing interest in language-based interactions with
technology. Driven by the commercial success of intelligent personal
assistant devices such as Alexa and Google Home, the number of natural
language and conversation-based interactions is growing in commercial
settings. Following the successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation conference
in 2019 and the virtual conference in 2020, CUI 2021 aims to further
develop a collaborative community around human-computer interaction issues
in speech and language technology, with a specific interest in theory-based
and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text-based
conversational user interfaces. Thus CUI 2021 further looks to bring
together relevant communities (e.g. ISCA, ACM SIGCHI, CogSci) to publish,
disseminate and showcase high-quality cutting-edge research related to the
field, promote insight and debate in this interesting and important
discipline within language interfaces.

Topics relevant to the conference include, but are not limited to:

    -

    voice user experience
    -

    speech interfaces
    -

    speech interface theory development
    -

    conversational interaction through technology
    -

    text-based conversational interfaces
    -

    chatbots
    -

    speech synthesis
    -

    speech recognition
    -

    dialogue management
    -

    conversational interface design insights
    -

    methods for conversational user interface development and evaluation
    -

    multimodal interaction involving speech, text or other language based
    interfaces
    -

    conversational search
