PURPOSE
Within Human- Machine systems and interaction the present workshop aims at featuring state of the scientific research on socio-affective technologies by integrating both the computational and psychological approach in the understanding, recognizing and shaping affective processes in real and new social environment (social media, virtual realty) even in educational contexts. The two main focuses of the workshop will be on linguistic, visual and multimodal aspects of the mediated communication. The interdisciplinary approach of the workshop that will include psychologists, computer scientists, computational linguistics, will contribute to emphasize ways to strengthen interdisciplinary connections between the computational and human sciences of socio-affective dynamics.
