There has been an increasing interest in language based interactions with technology. Driven by the commercial success of intelligent personal assistant devices such as Alexa and Google Home, to the growth of the use of chatbots in commercial settings, the number of natural language and conversation based interactions is growing. Based on a successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation conference in 2019, CUI 2020 aims to further develop a collaborative community around human-computer interaction issues in speech and language technology, with specific interest in theory based and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text based conversational user interfaces. CUI 2020 looks to bring together relevant communities (e.g. ISCA, ACM SIGCHI, CogSci) to publish, disseminate and showcase high quality cutting edge research related to the field, promote insight and debate in this interesting and important discipline within language interfaces.

Topics relevant to the conference include, but are not limited to:

    voice user experience
    speech interfaces
    speech interface theory development
    conversational interaction through technology
    text-based conversational interfaces
    chatbots
    speech synthesis
    speech recognition
    dialogue management
    conversational interface design insights
    conversational search
    methods for conversational user interface development and evaluation
    multimodal interaction involving speech, text or other language based interfaces
