Emotion recognition significantly enhances
human-computer interaction, social media analytics, autonomous systems, and
personalized digital experiences. Unlike traditional sentiment analysis,
emotion recognition identifies specific emotional states at a deeper
abstraction level. The ACER-EMORE workshop aims to present, discuss, and
advance innovative techniques for emotion recognition within Artificial
Intelligence and Affective Computing, emphasizing practical applications and
interdisciplinary collaboration. ACER-EMORE invites researchers and practitioners
from diverse fields, including computer science, psychology, cognitive
neuroscience, and social sciences, to exchange ideas and foster
cross-disciplinary cooperation. Topics include novel methodologies, multimodal
approaches, comprehensive emotion datasets, ethical considerations,
interpretability, and real-world applications. Contributions from ongoing
research projects, doctoral showcases, and practical implementations are
particularly encouraged.
ACER-EMORE invites original high-quality
papers: conceptual, empirical as well as theoretical papers are welcome;
graduate students are invited to submit their thesis showcase; experienced
researchers are warmly invited to submit novel or updated versions of their
work.
ACER aims also to create a network of
research for future events and publications on Affective Computing, as already
established in the previous editions (ACER2017@IEEE/ACM/WIC WI Leipzig,
Germany, with the special issue Emotional Machines: the next revolution in the
Web Intelligence Journal; previous edition including ACER@ICCSA2019 Saint
Petersburg, Russia; ACER@WI2019 Thessaloniki, Greece, ACER@ICCSA2020, Cagliari,
Italy), ACER-EMORE@WIA2021 Niagara Falls, ACER-EMORE@ICCSA2022 Malaga. Aiming
at this collaboration path, ACER also welcomes papers on ongoing projects and
PhD showcases, as well as applications, data sets, novel techniques, and
multimodal or interdisciplinary approaches to emotion recognition. Cooperation
between humans and machines for a shared action or goal is a desirable outcome.
Topics include, but are not limited to Affective Computing in:
·
Generative AI
techniques for emotion recognition
·
Multimodal
and multidimensional emotion recognition
·
Cross-cultural

ACER-EMORE will be located at the 24th IEEE/WIC/ACM
International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology, held in London, UK, and online, on
November 15-18 2025.
Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT) aims to
achieve a multi-disciplinary balance between research advances in theories and
methods usually associated with collective intelligence, data science,
human-centric computing, knowledge management, network science, autonomous
agents and multi-agent systems. It is committed to addressing research that
both deepen the understanding of computational, logical, cognitive, physical,
and social foundations of the future Web, and enable the development and
application of intelligent technologies. WI-IAT'25 provides a premier forum and
features high-quality, original research papers and real-world applications in
all theoretical and technology areas that make up the field of Web Intelligence
and Intelligent Agent Technology. WI-IAT'25 welcomes research, application as
well as Industry/Demo paper submissions. Tutorial, Workshop and Special-Session
proposals and papers are also welcome. WI-IAT'25 in London (United Kingdom) is
officially sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on
Intelligent Informatics (TCII) and Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC).
WI-IAT'25 will provide a broad forum that academia, professionals and
industry people can exchange their ideas, findings and strategies in deepening
the understanding of all Web's entities, phenomena, and developments in
utilizing the power of human brains and man-made networks to create a better
world. More specifically, the fields of how artificial intelligence is
impacting the Web of People, the Web of Data, the Web of Things, the Web of
Trust, the Web of Agents, the Web of Everything, and emerging FAccT in WI-IAT. Therefore, “Web Intelligence = AI in the
Connected World”.
Papers on applications,
case studies, and data sets are welcome, as well as master/PhD thesis
showcases. Each paper must be original and unpublished work, not submitted for
publication elsewhere (copyright problems fall entirely under responsibility of
the authors).
Submission of a paper
should be regarded as an undertaking that, if the paper is accepted, at least
one of the authors should register and present orally the paper in the
conference. Failure to do so shall lead to exclusion of the paper from the
proceedings.

Each paper will be peer-reviewed by
at least three PC members on the basis of technical quality, relevance,
originality, significance and clarity. Accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings by the ACM Press and published in the conference
proceedings, which in the past years have been always indexed in Scopus and WoS. Selected papers will be further invited for expansion
and publication in Web Intelligence journal and other international journals.
Accepted papers must have a registered author presenting the paper in the
workshop (in person or online).
