The First International Workshop on Chatbot
in conjunction with ICWSM2018 (http://www.icwsm.org/2018/)

June 25-28, 2018, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA

With the AI technologies penetrating every part of our daily life, the 
way of processing and delivering information has been fundamentally 
changed. Chatbot will become the new interface between human and 
information, human and services, and human and society in the AI era. 
Dialoging is one of the most common and intuitive ways for human to 
communication. Previously web interface of searching or browsing is the 
main interface between human and information, but this will be soon 
replaced by chatbot. We envision that chatbot will become the front-end 
interface of almost all digital everything.

To develop better chatbot technology, it requires inter-disciplinary 
attentions. For the backend technologies of chatbot, it needs the domain 
expertise on information summary/cognitive summary, sentiment analysis, 
topic modeling, natural language processing, text mining, and machine 
learning. For the frontend technologies of chatbot, it desires user 
interactive communication, user behavior, user cognitive thinking, user 
engagement, user interface design, and voice or video communication. 
Beyond that, it entails the complicated social part of users and 
society, which includes peer communication, conformity, social and 
society pressure, trends, personality, social bonding, and more.

Here we call for contributions from teams in academia and industry 
working on chatbot to share their insights, network, and brainstorm the 
future roadmap of chatbot.
