Computational Models of Cultural Behavior for Human-Agent Interaction (Dagstuhl Seminar 14131) André, Elisabeth Aylett, Ruth Hofstede, Gert Jan Paiva, Ana Cultural models Cultural grounding Social simulation Affective computing (Multi-)Agent architectures Virtual agents Social robots From March 23 2014 to March 28, the seminar "Computational Models of Cultural Behavior for Human-Agent Interaction" held in Schloss Dagstuhl -- Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, an interdisciplinary group of researchers explored and discussed theories and techniques for computational models of culture as part of virtual human simulations. Culturally-sensitive agents do not only improve the acceptance of man-machine interfaces by adapting their verbal and non-verbal behavior to the user's assumed cultural background. They also bear enormous potential for a rapidly growing number of ICT-based language and cultural training scenarios that make use of role-play with virtual characters. The seminar brought together researchers with an interdisciplinary background that profited from each other's perspective and explored challenges for the future.
