<div class="" style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal;

style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">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>
