[CFP] 4th Affective Content Workshop @ AAAI - 21 and the GoTeam CL-Aff Shared Task

(apologies for cross-posting)
Hello, how's everyone holding up?!
This is a call for papers for AffCon-2021, the fourth Affective Content Analysis workshop @ AAAI. The workshop series (i) builds upon the state of the art in neural and AI methods for modeling affect in interpersonal interactions and behaviors, and (ii) brings a confluence of research viewpoints representing several disciplines.
This year, collaboration takes on extra special meaning in a physically distanced world, where everyone relies more heavily on computer-mediated cooperation. Understanding the dynamics of affect in collaborative content is more topical. The theme for AffCon@AAAI-2021 is ‘Affect in Collaborative Creation’, relevant for increasingly decentralized workplaces, asynchronous collaborations, and computer-mediated communication. The general topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the list at the end of this email.
Submit to our workshop at AAAI! It's our 4th year and we always have the coolest speakers.

CALL FOR SHARED TASK SUBMISSIONS: We introduce the CLAff-GoTeam dataset this year, which examines the role of affect in inter- and intra-team trust. It builds on the Diplomacy dataset from Vlad Niculae, Srijan Kumar, Jordan Boyd-Graber, and Cristian Danescu-Niculescu-Mizil, with additional annotations, and derived outcomes related to collaborations.
Please see our detailed CFP!
