Workshop 1

Enculturating Conversational Interfaces by Socio-cultural Aspects of Communication

The workshop aims at enculturating conversational interfaces by discussing computationally viable models of cultural aspects of conversations which should be grounded reliable empirical data on cultural/cross-cultural interaction.
