Workshop proceedings of two co-located workshops "Working with Troubles and
Failures in Conversation with Humans and Robots" (WTF 2023) and "Is CUI Design
Ready Yet?", both of which were part of the ACM conference on conversational
user interfaces 2023.
  WTF 23 aimed at bringing together researchers from human-robot interaction,
dialogue systems, human-computer interaction, and conversation analysis.
Despite all progress, robotic speech interfaces continue to be brittle in a
number of ways and the experience of failure of such interfaces is commonplace
amongst roboticists. However, the technical literature is positively skewed
toward their good performance. The workshop aims to provide a platform for
discussing communicative troubles and failures in human-robot interactions and
related failures in non-robotic speech interfaces. Aims include a scrupulous
investigation into communicative failures, to begin working on a taxonomy of
such failures, and enable a preliminary discussion on possible mitigating
strategies. Workshop website: https://sites.google.com/view/wtf2023/overview
  Is CUI Design Ready Yet? As CUIs become more prevalent in both academic
research and the commercial market, it becomes more essential to design usable
and adoptable CUIs. While research has been growing on the methods for
designing CUIs for commercial use, there has been little discussion on the
overall community practice of developing design resources to aid in practical
CUI design. The aim of this workshop, therefore, is to bring the CUI community
together to discuss the current practices for developing tools and resources
for practical CUI design, the adoption (or non-adoption) of these tools and
resources, and how these resources are utilized in the training and education
of new CUI designers entering the field. Workshop website:
