The W3C Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) is a representation of emotions and emotion-related states for use in technology. It aims to strike a balance between practical applicability and scientific well-foundedness. The workshop is aimed at receiving feedback from the community on the current EmotionML specification.

This special issue focuses on the introduction, presentation, and discussion of novel and existing mono- and multimodal affective resources. Alternatively, ways to better exploit existing corpora by improved standardization and combination can be addressed. Necessary steps in this direction comprise mapping schemes to overcome the peculiarities of the field – such as categorical, complex or dimensional, and unstable annotation, and measurements to automatically assess similarity, type, and quality of resources. Also needed are new ways to establish semi-supervised processing of large resources by media tagging, or ways to better bundle efforts of the community, e.g. by shared and distributed collection and annotation of data. Finally, for better exchange and comparability of reported results, partitioning and evaluation strategies will benefit from further discussion. The issues mentioned may be exemplified by novel naturalistic resources or by exploiting existing ones.

This special issue will cover computational techniques for the recognition and interpretation of human multimodal verbal and nonverbal behavior, models of mentalizing and empathizing for interaction, and multimedia techniques for the synthesis of believable social behavior supporting human-agent and human-robot interaction. A key aim of the special issue is the identification and investigation of important open issues in real-time, affect-aware applications "in the wild" and especially in embodied interaction, i.e., with robots and embodied conversational agents. We encourage the submission of studies that provide new insights into the use of multimodal and multimedia techniques for enabling interaction between humans, robots, and virtual agents in naturalistic settings.
