==========================================================
The Tenth Linguistic and Cognitive Approaches to Dialog Agents (LaCATODA 2026)
(AAAI 2026 Workshop)
https://sites.google.com/view/lacatoda2026
Venue: Singapore EXPO
(in conjunction with AAAI 2026, https://aaai.org/conference/aaai/aaai-26/)
==========================================================
Important Dates:
Paper Submission deadline: October 22nd, 2025 (AoE)
Acceptance notification: November 5th, 2025
WS-CUER camera ready deadline: January 15th, 2026
==========================================================
The 10th Linguistic and Cognitive Approaches to Dialogue Agents (LaCATODA’26) workshop aims to bridge the persistent gap between current “chatbots” and truly natural, human-like conversational AI. While Generative AI has demonstrated remarkable fluency, significant challenges remain in achieving genuine dialogue understanding, nuanced interaction, and cognitive grounding. This workshop will discuss the multidisciplinary issues crucial for developing sophisticated dialogue agents that move beyond mere information exchange to truly engage with human users. By exploring the intricate interplay of linguistics, cognitive science, and computational approaches, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of human communication. The workshop is specifically designed to address the critical new challenges and opportunities presented by the rapid evolution of Large Language Models (LLMs) in dialogue systems. Although LLMs have dramatically advanced the fluency and coherence of machine-ge
nerated text, their inherent limitations in achieving true human-level conversational intelligence have become increasingly apparent in 2025. Our goal is to push the boundaries beyond probabilistic text generation and target the specific issues that underpin genuinely natural, intelligent, and human-centric dialogue.
Topics of Interest
* Adaptive Dialogue Management,
* Cognitive Gaps in LLMs,

* Embodied and Situated Dialogue,
* Ethical AI and Trustworthy Dialogue,
* Humor Processing,
* Nuance of Affect and Intent,
* Persona Modeling,
* Proactive Dialogue Management,
* RAG (and beyond)-based Dialogue
