Members of the Local Organizing Committee at the closing of SemDial 2025.

It's a wrap! Thanks to the organizers, presenters and all participants for an inspiring and engaging #semdial2025 #bialogue conference at Bielefeld University! I had fun.

Final day at #semdial2025 #bialogue — four more presentations, one key note and hopefully many engaging discussions. Let's go!

Sounds trivial, but cannot be stressed enough: Dialog systems need to incorporate proper linguistic knowledge of actual human-human interactions and how conversations work! Fascinating and fun talk(s) by Mathias Barthel at #semdial2025 #bialogue

Leonie Schade at the presentation "Does it take two to do an articulatory tango?" at the SemDial 2025 conference Bialogue.

Speech dynamics depend on the communicative setting, social context and individual differences in speakers’ personality. At #semdial2025 #bialogue, Leonie Schade presented our experimental work on the production of novel phonetic forms and our methodology to assess them.
#CRC1646 #LINCC

“Conv-BDI: An extension of the BDI framework for conversational agents” — Very existential questions addressed early in the morning: What is the purpose of an agent? What if its purpose is fulfilled or obsolete? #semdial2025 #bialogue

Day 2 of #semdial2025 #bialogue ... LLMs, dialog systems, pragmatics, international stuff with machines and humans. Cool.

Bastian Bunzeck in front of his poster "Child-directed speech is fine-tuned to children’s developmental needs (Bastian Bunzeck, Holger Diessel)"

“Child-directed speech is fine-tuned to children’s developmental needs” — @bbunzeck.bsky.social from the A02 project of #CRC1646 #LINCC, presented a great poster today at #semdial2025 #bialogue based on earlier work in collaboration with Holger Diessel.

Heimspiel! #bialogue 2025, the 29th edition of the #semdial workshop series, starts today at Bielefeld University. Looking forward to some packed days of presentations, posters and discussions. Don’t miss our presentation “Does it take two to do an articulatory tango?” today!

I will try my best to give some live updates on #semdial2025 over the next three days, so watch this space and our group’s account. #semdial #bialogue

#semdial2025, the long-awaited #bialogue conference starts tomorrow! We are looking forward to three wonderful conference days, featuring three exciting keynotes, and many oral and poster presentations on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue. 👄💬
