Engagement in Conversation Revisited
Abstract:
Recent years have seen a growing number of studies on "engagement" in conversations. Studies often start with an analysis of the meaning of the term.
There is however no consensus about the meaning and how it should be operationalised in terms of annotation. This makes comparing results and
insights across corpora quite difficult. In this talk I would like to take
stock of the situation. Also I would like to try to offer some suggestions about how to improve dealing with such vague concepts as engagement in
affective computng research.

Gold-plating the standards of affect through games
Abstract: How can expressive media help us better understand emotion?
How can they help us reach out towards the golden standard of emotion and model it computationally?
What happens to our emotion manifestations when we interact with expressive media?
What if the very context of emotion becomes a reference point within that interaction?
In this talk I will address these questions and will attempt to reframe the way we view affect annotation and affect
modeling through highly expressive media such as games. Inspired by theoretical frameworks and grounded in empirical evidence,
I will present a number of effective tools and methods for annotating and modeling affect in (and through) games.
