Workshop accepted at EMNLP 2026 - Multimodal INTeraction in face-to-face dialogue (MINT)

I am happy to share that our workshop MINT: Multimodal Interaction in Face-to-Face Dialogue has been accepted at EMNLP 2026 in Budapest, Hungary.

The workshop focuses on multimodal face-to-face interaction and aims to bring together researchers working on speech, gesture, gaze, facial expression, prosody, body pose, embodied agents, multimodal datasets, and evaluation. It sits at the intersection of computational linguistics, NLP, computer vision, HCI, robotics, and cognitive science.

I am excited to help organise a venue for discussion around how multimodal verbal and non-verbal signals can be modelled, interpreted, and integrated into interactive AI systems.
