<div style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height:
normal;" class=""><span style="font-kerning: none" class="">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, to the growth of the use of chatbots in
commercial settings, the number of natural language and
conversation based interactions is growing. Based on a
successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation conference in 2019,
CUI 2020 aims to further develop a collaborative community
around human-computer interaction issues in speech and
language technology, with specific interest in theory based
and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text
based conversational user interfaces. CUI 2020 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.</span></div>
