Human-Machine Interaction (HMI), or Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), is a multidisciplinary field, which is benefitting from the latest advancements in wearable devices, sensing technologies, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. This allows the development of new applications in the medical, entertainment, education, and industrial sectors, with real-time responses in real-life environments.

Several issues arise when proposing a HMI system, that could span from the presence of noisy data to their subjectivity, from the device expensiveness to the system computational costs, from user behavior when dealing with the machine to the effective machine response.

In particular the main motivations and the scientific relevance guiding the AIxHMI Workshop have roots in:

• Focusing on human-centric approaches/perspectives.

• Exploiting AI approaches to provide a better interaction between humans and machines.

• Moving AI to pervasive technologies relying on wearable devices and portable technologies.

• New AI methods and proposals that exploit heterogeneous data sources, describing the human environmental interaction in real, virtual, and augmented scenarios, to provide better HMI systems.
