Agents and Robots that can listen to the user’s heart
Abstract: Empathy is often seen as the capacity to perceive, understand and experience others’ emotions. This notion is often seen as one of the major elements in social interactions between humans. As such, when creating social agents that are believable and able to engage with users in social interactions, empathy needs to be addressed. For the past few years, many researchers have been looking at this problem, not only in trying to find ways to perceive the user’s emotions, but also to adapt to them, and react in an empathic way. This talk will provide an overview of this new challenging area of research, by analyzing empathy in the social relations established between humans and social agents (virtual and robotic).

Parsing Web2.0 Language and Sentiment Analysis: The case of Turkish
Abstract: With the increasing number of people using micro blogging sites (such as Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Instagram, Foursquare or Google+), social media data became a highly attractive source for machine learning and natural language processing (NLP) research employed in many high-tier applications including social network analysis, information extraction, web mining, opinion mining and brand monitoring. The language used in social media differs severely from formally written texts, in that people do not feel forced to write grammatically correct words or sentences. In this talk, we are going to present our current research on Parsing Web2.0 Language and Sentiment Analysis for a morphologically very complex language: Turkish.
