Thanks to the great work of Anna Esposito, I have the pleasure to join the organising committee of the “Special Session on Dynamics of Emotional Speech Exchanges in Multimodal Communication“, to be held at Interspeech 2019:

https://www.interspeech2019.org/program/special_sessions_and_challenges/

The topics covered in the special session can be described as follows: “Research devoted to understanding the relationship between verbal and nonverbal communication modes, and investigating the perceptual and cognitive processes involved in the coding/decoding of emotional states is particularly relevant in the fields of Human-Human and Human-Computer Interaction.“

The special session has been possible thanks to the H2020 funded project “Empathic” (http://www.empathic-project.eu/).
