Together with Hannes Vilhjalmson, we organized the Doctoral Consortium at IVA2015 on 24 August 2015.
Five phd students presented their work on virtual agents and turn-taking, synchrony, affective decision-making, e-coaching for stress treatment and scenario generation through natural language understanding. Dirk Heylen, Catherine Pelachaud, and Joost Broekens were invited as experts to provide feedback to the students and to discuss their research.
