SUMMARY:GailBot Weekend Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:GailBot is a ‘first pass’ automated transcription system designed to support conversation analytic research. Human interaction research relies on detailed transcriptions of language use (a system developed by conversation analyst Gail Jefferson\, after whom GailBot is named) that are very slow and expensive to produce. GailBot makes it possible to produce first-pass detailed transcripts of dialogue at scale. \nThe GailBot development team will be visiting UCLA April 12th – 14th to run a ‘hackathon’ (2-4 hours per day) with the goal of adapting GailBot to fit a range of CA research workflows. Participants will learn about its capabilities\, use cases\, and limitations\, as well as how to install\, configure\, and use the program. Note: Currently GailBot is only available on Mac\, but the development team is working on a Linux package. \nProgram details coming soon\, but if you have questions about coming for part of the hackathon or whether your data is appropriate\, register and put your question in the form. We’ll respond. \nGailBot Team:\nSaul Albert — Senior Lecturer in Social Sciences\, University of Loughborough\nMuhammad Umair — Department of Computer Science\, Tufts\nVivian Li — Department of Computer Science\, Tufts\nJulia Mertens — Senior Scientist at Boston Fusion Corp.\nJ.P. De Ruiter — Department of Computer Science and Department of Psychology\, Tufts \nLearn more about GailBot here. \nPlease sign up for this event using this form. \nDownload ad: GailBot Advert

SUMMARY:CLIC Workshop: Adopting affective stances in interaction
DESCRIPTION:Adopting Affective Stances in Interaction \nFebruary 1-2\, 2024 \nIn this workshop\, we will collectively examine many of the resources that speakers rely on to display emotional stances (positive or negative) towards the actions speakers are performing or the ways in which those actions are being done. Sometimes affective stances are conveyed through smiles\, eyebrow furrowing\, sighs\, or laughter. Other times\, affective stances are conveyed through lexical choices (e.g.\, adjective choices such as “stupid” or “fabulous”) or even grammatical resources. We will be interested in approaching the questions of how and when affective stances are displayed in conversation as well as what effect this has on interlocutors and on the conversation (e.g.\, leading to halts in conversation progressivity or expansion of a telling). We hope to consider the roles of various aspects of speakers’ identities as well as sequential context. Moreover\, our goal is to bring the perspectives of linguistic anthropology\, conversation analysis\, linguistics\, psychology\, communication\, and brain injury studies to bear on this investigation. \nRegistration is now open! You can register for this event here. \nPLEASE NOTE: This is an in-person only event. Program and event details will be emailed to registered participants approximately a week before the event. For more information\, contact the CLIC coordinator at clic@ucla.edu \n

SUMMARY:Gus Cooney (The Wharton School\, University of Pennsylvania)
DESCRIPTION:Title: A New Social Psychology of Conversation \nAbstract: Scholars from a variety of fields are increasingly interested in the study of conversation. However\, advancing the science of conversation requires more than novel empirical findings. We also need curated datasets\, new theoretical frameworks\, and methodological refinements—an essential “infrastructure” that is currently lacking. In this talk\, I highlight several of my recent initiatives in building this infrastructure: developing one of the largest public datasets of naturalistic conversation\, the CANDOR corpus; an extensive review paper synthesizing the wide-ranging interdisciplinary history of conversation research; and new methodological techniques for effectively segmenting transcripts into turns at scale. Such innovations are crucial for bridging the gap between the micro-level dynamics of turn-by-turn conversation and the macro-level psychological judgments and impressions that result from interaction. Ultimately\, these developments in data\, theory\, and methodology represent critical steps in the journey towards establishing a new social psychology of conversation. \nKindly RSVP by October 6 using the link below \nRegistration: https://bit.ly/clic-cooney

SUMMARY:CLIC Workshop on Managing Competing Demands in Interaction: Identity\, Cognition\, and Affiliation
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Giovanni Rossi (Department of Sociology\, UCLA) and Tanya Stivers (Department of Sociology\, UCLA) \nWhen we interact with others\, we juggle many competing pressures. We must both comprehend and produce language in a normatively tight timeframe. We need to work to try to understand and be understood by others\, both semantically and pragmatically. Our self-presentations are continually adjusted for the addressee\, the activity context\, and the actions in which we are engaged. And\, we must manage all of these factors while also working to manage our degree of affiliation with our addressees. In this workshop\, we bring together speakers from a range of disciplines and methods in order to collectively explore how we balance these competing demands in real time and to what end. \nRegistration is now open! You can sign up for this event by completing this form.

SUMMARY:Alexandra Paxton (Psychological Sciences - U. Connecticut)
DESCRIPTION:Dynamical\, situated\, wild: Attempts to capture the glorious mess of social interaction \nAlexandra Paxton\, University of Connecticut \nApril 12\, 5pm \nSocial interaction is a glorious mess of multimodal communication embedded within an equally multifaceted cultural\, temporal\, and interpersonal context. Most people effortlessly manage that mess to connect\, work\, and even fight with others every day\, but it poses a host of problems for the scholars interested in studying it\, especially for those in traditional empirical approaches. In this talk\, I present a brief overview of some ways to quantify the interconnectedness of social interaction\, including both naturally occurring and experimentally derived data. In doing so\, I argue that taking a complex systems approach provides methodological\, analytical\, and theoretical advantages to understanding social phenomena as they truly are—messiness and all. \nRSPV: http://bit.ly/clic-paxton

SUMMARY:CLIC Presents: Matthias R. Mehl (University of Arizona)
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://forms.gle/d8Xwtc64dFmoVYDq7 \nThe Sounds of Social Life Project: Observing Language and Interactions IRL\n\n\n\n\nMatthias R. Mehl\nProfessor of Psychology\,\nDirector of the Naturalistic Observation of Social Interaction Laboratory\nUniversity of Arizona\nhttps://psychology.arizona.edu/users/matthias-mehl \n  \n\n\n\n\nHow much time do we spend talking? Or laughing? Or sighing? Or arguing with others? And what do these behaviors tell us about how we live our lives? These seemingly trivial questions are important because they illustrate how little is known about our everyday social interactions. Over the last 20 years\, I have developed and validated the Electronically Activated Recorder or EAR\, an ecological momentary assessment tool that can track people’s naturally occurring (acoustic) social lives. Technically\, the EAR is a digital audio recorder that intermittently records snippets of ambient sounds while participants go about their normal lives. Conceptually\, it is a naturalistic observation sampling method that produces an acoustic log of a person’s day as it unfolds. With the EAR\, we can begin to study how subtle yet objective (in the sense of observable) aspects of people’s daily social interactions and language use are related to important psychological processes such as personality\, well-being\, and health. In this talk I will give an overview of the EAR method and the research we have done with it.

SUMMARY:CLIC Presents: Shrikanth Narayanan (University of Southern California)
DESCRIPTION:RSVP: https://forms.gle/RmfF7ExGNeRDR1y27 \nHuman-centered Multimodal Machine Intelligence\nShrikanth (Shri) Narayanan\nUniversity of Southern California\, Los Angeles\, CA\nSignal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory\nhttps://sail.usc.edu/people/shri.html \n  \nConverging developments across the machine intelligence ecosystem\, from multimodal sensing and signal processing to machine learning and data sciences\, offer exciting possibilities for helping us understand human communication\, behavior and interaction across a variety of contexts\, and for creating technologies to support and enrich human experiences. Multimodal engineering methods can help analyze human trait (e.g.\, age)\, state (e.g.\, emotion)\, and behavior dynamics (e.g.\, interaction synchrony) objectively\, and at scale. Machine intelligence could also help detect and analyze deviation in patterns from what is deemed typical.  These techniques in turn can assist\, facilitate or enhance decision making by humans\, and by autonomous systems. \nThis talk will highlight some of these possibilities and opportunities through examples drawn from two specific domains. The first relates to machine intelligence for behavioral and mental health. For example\, in determining whether a child is on the Autism spectrum\, a clinician would engage and observe a child in a series of interactive activities\, targeting relevant cognitive\, communicative and socio- emotional aspects\, and codify specific patterns of interest e.g.\, typicality of vocal intonation\, facial expressions\, joint attention behavior. Machine intelligence driven processing of speech\, language\, visual and physiological data\, and combining them with other forms of clinical data\, enable novel and objective ways of supporting and scaling up these diagnostics.  Likewise\, multimodal systems can automate the analysis of a psychotherapy session\, including computing treatment quality-assurance measures e.g.\, rating a therapist’s expressed empathy. These technology possibilities can go beyond the traditional realm of clinics\, to directly to a person’s natural settings. For example\, remote multimodal sensing of biobehavioral cues can enable new ways for screening and tracking behaviors (e.g.\, stress in workplace) and progress to treatment (e.g.\, for depression)\, and offer just in time support. \nThe second example is drawn from the world of media. Machine intelligence tools can help analyze media such as about who is interacting with whom\, about what\, how and where. This includes offering objective insights into media representations and portrayals\, along relevant dimensions of diversity and inclusion such as gender\, race\, age\, and ability. \n  \nBiography of the Speaker: \nShrikanth (Shri) Narayanan is University Professor and Niki & C.
