Abstract
It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 7th Workshop on Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction -- Gaze-in 2014. Eye gaze is one of the most important aspects in understanding and modeling human-human communication, and it has great potential also in improving humanmachine and robot interaction. In human face-to-face communication, eye gaze plays an important role in floor and turn management, grounding, and engagement in conversation. In human-computer interaction research, social gaze, gaze directed at an interaction partner, has been a subject of increased attention. In the previous workshops we have discussed a wide range of issues for eye gaze involved in multimodal human-machine/robot/agent interaction; technologies for sensing human attentional behaviors, attentional behaviors in problem-solving and task-performing, multimodal communication, interpretation and generation. In addition to these topics, this workshop also focuses on eye gaze in multiparty interaction and real-world applications, especially on mobile platforms where remarkable progress has been achieved in recent years. This year's workshop continues in these lines and explore the growing area of gaze in intelligent interaction research by bringing together researchers from domains of human sensing, multimodal processing, humanoid interfaces, intelligent user interfaces, and communication science. The participants exchange ideas to develop and improve methodologies for this research area with the long-term goal of establishing a strong interdisciplinary research community in "attention aware interactive systems." The call for papers attracted eight submissions from Germany, Turkey, Japan, the United Kingdom, Poland, and the United States. These papers covers the following research topics: eye tracking in security and medical applications, eye gaze behavior analysis in grouped face-to-face communication and collaborative learning, and cognitive function in investigating musical sense and the conversation with virtual agents on mobile devices. Most of the papers were reviewed by three reviewers with some exceptions where there were only two reviewers. Gaze-in 2014 also featured a keynote talk by Dan Bohus (Microsoft Research, USA) titled: "Attention and Gaze in Situated Language Interaction."
