Just came home from Dagstuhl

Just came home from a productive and inspiring week at Dagstuhl.

Different to the Dagstuhl Seminars I attended, we had a Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop this time. Elaborating and writing a Manifesto with 22 authors is no easy task.—Fortunately, we moved forward together. It will take a bit until the Manifesto is published. Stay tuned!

Thank you to my co-organizers of this Dagstuhl Perspectives Workshop 24352: Conversational Agents: A Framework for Evaluation (CAFE): Li Chen, Nicola Ferro, and Norbert Fuhr. And, of course, thank you to all participants who contributed with their insights and experience. I’m looking forward seeing our manifesto published—and the proposed framework widely adopted by the research community.
