<div>Call For Papers - The Workshop on Competitive and Cooperative Social Interactions @ IJCAI2021</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I. Aim and Scope</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In this workshop, we put together the top-tier researchers on machine learning, in particular social signal processing, and human-robot interaction to discuss, understand and propose possible solutions for our overall topic “Competition and Cooperation:
How to integrate machine learning and human-robot interaction in meaningful applications?”. Our intention is to leverage an enriching discussion of the existing problems on competitive and cooperative interactions on the multidisciplinary view of our contributors,
and not to present individual solutions for each of the related topics. Our invited speakers, all experts in their respective areas, will discuss the open problems involving social agents' interactions within their specialty. We also invite the submissions
of position papers that present a critical view on this topic to complement and widen our discussions.</div>
