Dear All, Together with Sunayana Sitaram, we are organizing a special session (Dialogue Systems for Multilingual and Under-resourced Language Speakers<https://sites.google.com/view/iwsds2023/special-sessions>) at IWSDS’2023 (hosted by University of Southern California/Institute for Creative Technologies). Looking forward to the academic and industrial contributions (deadline for papers: Oct.28th). Feel free to email us if you have any questions. Kind regards, A.S. Doğruöz & Sunayana Sitaram Here is the call: "Current dialogue systems target mostly monolingual and high resource languages and their speakers. However, millions of speakers around the world (e.g., India, Africa, Europe as well as indigenous and immigrant communities in the US) are multilingual and it is normal for these speakers and communities to switch within or across languages in daily lives (Doğruöz & Sitaram, 2022; Doğruöz et al., 2021; Sitaram et al., 2019). In addition, most languages of the world are still under-resourced. Therefore, there is a need for dialogue systems to be more inclusive and target both the multilingual and under-resourced languages and their speakers. The aim of this special session is to bring together researchers from the SDS community and encourage research and discussion around the unique challenges (e.g., data collection, model building, sociolinguistic aspects and system evaluation) for multilingual and under-resourced languages."
