*********************Overview**********************
The SOCIALIZE workshop aims to bring together all those interested in the development of
interactive techniques that may contribute to fostering the social and cultural inclusion
of a broad range of users. More specifically, we intend to attract research that takes
into account the interaction peculiarities typical of different realities, with a focus on
disadvantaged and at-risk categories (e.g., refugees and migrants) and vulnerable groups
(e.g., children, elderly, autistic, and disabled people). Among others, we are also
interested in human-robot interaction techniques aimed at the development of social
robots, that is, autonomous robots that interact with people by engaging in
social-affective behaviors, abilities, and rules related to their collaborative role.
**********************Topics***********************
The main topics of the workshop are (but not limited to):
* Multi-cultural system design;
* Empirical studies on the impact of culture on systems;
* Cultural and social influence in recommender systems;
* Cultural and social aspects as contextual factors;
* Cultural and social influence in online learning platforms (e.g., MOOC);
* Methods for automatic assessment of social and cultural background from social media;
* Strategies for adapting systems to groups of users with different backgrounds;
* Cross-cultural analyses of trust in systems;
* Human-robot adaptation for cross-cultural users, including under-represented groups;
* Personalized Human-Robot Interaction (HRI);
* Adaptation strategies for social HRI;
* Machine learning for social robots;
* Emotion and personality detection in social HRI;
* Social robots as conversational recommender systems;
* Social robots in the real world;
********************Submissions********************
We encourage three kinds of submissions:
- Full papers (up to 8 pages + references)
- Short papers (up to 4-6 pages + references)
- Vision and position papers (up to 2 pages + references)
in ACM SIGCHI Paper Format (see https://iui.acm.org/2023/call_for_papers.html
<https://iui.acm.org/2023/call_for_papers.html>).
Papers should be submitted via Easychair
(https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2023
<https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=socialize2023>) by January 9, 2023. All
submissions will undergo a peer-review process. Reviewers will consider originality,
significance, technical soundness, clarity, and relevance to the workshop’s topics.
At least one author of each accepted paper must register for and attend the workshop.
Accepted contributions will be published in a joint volume of dedicated workshop
proceedings.
