proposal but has not responded

from the 14th of May

template for our proposal

gerard: will ask jean-claude about a paper template
debbie: we'll need the template for when we publish the call
dirk: Springer has an editorial manager where the submitters
can upload their papers

submission machinery is in place
debbie: what can we add to the Call for Papers?

gerard: sent the first version
debbie: we could use some of the workshop website information
dirk: let's try to prepare something for the next time
Voice Interaction Community Group
dirk: complete 1.3 of architecture document
. doesn't make much sense to continue interfaces
debbie: how to close it off?
dirk: can revisit open issues and close as deprecated
debbie: we should add a "status of this document" that it's
being closed off
. the same thing could be said for the JROSI, it's become
obsolute because of LLM
dirk: comparing grounding work with Kristiina, we could work on
those, knowledge graphs
dirk: there's a working group working on knowledge graphs, but
they're more interested in structure
. we could invite kristiina once more
dirk: need to find a good time slot
dirk: do you have any other ideas?
debbie: is there an extension of the architecture that we could
do?
. robots, multimodal, physical AI?
dirk: someone needs to start and check a bit on those
debbie: will take a look at that
. people are also working on small language models, not sure if
there's scope for that work within our group
todos: dirk could be in charge of interfaces, debbie to be in
charge of JROSI, dirk will set up call for papers document,
then debbie will review that, dirk will look at github issues
for architecture, dirk will talk to kristiina to see if she can
join us to talk about grounding and knowledge graphs, debbie
will look at physical AI and robots
