W8USER2AGENT
IUI 2019 Workshop on

User-Aware Conversational Agents

Conversational agent systems present an extremely rich and challenging research space for many topics of user awareness and adaptation, such as user profiles, contexts, personalities, emotions, social dynamics, conversational styles, etc. The user2agent workshop aims to bring together researchers who are interested in these topics from different communities, including user modeling, HCI, NLP and ML. Through a focused and open exchange of ideas and discussions, we will work to identify central research topics in user-aware conversational agents and develop an interdisciplinary agenda to address them.
