The annual conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA) is the premier international event for interdisciplinary research on the design, application, and evaluation of Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVAs) with a specific focus on the ability to socially interact. IVAs are interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities including communicating using natural human modalities such as facial expressions, speech, and gesture. They are capable of real-time perception, cognition, emotion and action that allow them to participate in dynamic social environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main conference will be from Sept 7 to Sept 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s theme \u201cSocial Cognition for Human-AI Cooperation\u201d<\/strong> explores in particular how the fundamental mechanisms and processes of social cognition can be studied using IVAs, as well as how they can be computationally modelled for IVAs to enable a new level of cooperative interaction between humans and AI-based agents. Unraveling possible and emerging forms of human-AI cooperation, along with their effects and implications, will provide impulses for the advancement and critical reflection on socially interactive agents. Such contributions are also widely welcomed and appreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
