CUI 2022 is an ACM in-cooperation conference in Glasgow, UK, from 26–28th July 2022.

There has been an increasing interest in language-based interactions with technology. Driven by the commercial success of intelligent personal assistant devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, the number of natural language and conversation-based interactions is growing in commercial settings. Following the successful inaugural ACM In-Cooperation conference in 2019 and the virtual conferences in 2020 and 2021, CUI 2022 aims to further develop a collaborative community around human-computer interaction issues in speech and language technology, with a specific interest in theory-based and applied scientific issues in the field of speech and text-based conversational user interfaces. Thus CUI 2022 further looks to bring together relevant communities (e.g., ISCA, ACM SIGCHI, CogSci, CHIIR), to publish, disseminate and showcase high-quality cutting-edge research related to the field, promote insight and debate in this exciting and essential 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
• methods for conversational user interface development and evaluation
• multimodal interaction involving speech, text or other language based interfaces

The CUI community has been growing at a rapid pace these past few years and we are continuing to develop the conference series. We are planning an in-person event for 2022, with multiple tracks now open for submissions. See the For Authors menu for more details.

We hope you can join us,
