Prof. Luis Fernando D’Haro is an Associate Professor at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSIT, UPM, Spain). His current research is focused on spoken dialogue, natural language processing, and language and speaker recognition systems. He has published more than 130 papers in peer-reviewed journals, books, and conferences. He co-led the international Dialog State Tracking Challenges (DSTC) in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and the WOCHAT series workshops that target the advance of chatbots systems and their automatic evaluation since 2015. He was local Organizer for INTERSPEECH 2014, HAI 2016, and the International Workshop on Spoken Dialog Systems (IWSDS) in 2018. He is currently the General Chair for IWSDS2020, the Chief Guest Editor for a special issue at Computer Speech and Language for DSTC7, and Co-Organizer for DSTC9, DBDC5, and Chanel workshop at JSALT2020.
Prof. Zoraida Callejas obtained a Ph.D. in 2008 at the University of Granada (Spain) where she currently is anAssociate Professor. Her research focuses on areas related to dialogue systems, emotion processing, and user modelling. She has published more than 140 contributions to scientific journals, books, and conferences. She has participated in multiple projects in European and Spanish calls and is currently the Coordinator of the EU H2020-MSCA-RISE project MENHIR and the BONAPPPETIT project on conversational systems for mental health and the adoption of healthy habits by children, respectively. She has organized multiple conferences, workshops, and meetings, the most recent are IEEE BIBM 2018, NII SHONAN meeting on spoken multimodal dialogue systems technology for pervasive computing (2019), and IWSDS 2020.
