The WASA workshop series is the premier international forum for research on technologies for analysis of human sentiment, empathic and social behaviour observed in the wild. The program will consist of three Keynotes, an oral session, and a demonstration session. Submissions will be rigorously reviewed, and should clearly make the case for a documented improvement over the existing state of the art. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Affective Computing and Intelligent Interaction 2017.

The general workshop topics will include, but are not limited to:

-Social Intelligence and Sentiment Modeling
-Sentiment, empathy & social behavior analysis from vocal, facial & bodily expressions recorded in the wild
-Expressive speech analysis in social interactions observed in the wild
-Human gesture and action recognition in social interactions observed in the wild
-Perceptual, empathic, and socially-aware user interfaces
-Empathic multimedia recommendation systems
-Databases for training and testing
-Empathic and socially-aware computing and applications
