SYNERGY 2025: Workshop on Designing and Building Hybrid Human-AI Systems
Co-located with HHAI 2025 (Hybrid Human-AI Intelligence Conference)
June 9, 2025 - Pisa, Italy
https://synergy.trx.li/

Important Dates:
- Submission Deadline: April 11, 2025 (AoE)
- Notification: May 2, 2025
- Camera Ready: May 16, 2025

ABOUT
------
In 1960, Joseph Licklider envisioned "Man-Computer Symbiosis" where computation would augment human intellect. Today, as AI systems work alongside people in tasks from visual analytics to code generation, we are learning to design truly synergistic systems where humans and AI work flexibly together, leveraging their complementary abilities.

Following our successful first edition at AVI 2024 (https://synergy.trx.li/2024/), this workshop brings together researchers exploring the design, implementation, and evaluation of meaningful human-AI collaboration systems. The workshop will include consortium partners from the new €10M EU project TANGO "It takes two to tango: a synergistic approach to human-machine decision making".

TOPICS
-------
We invite submissions in four key areas:

- Interactive Decision-Making Systems: Real-time collaboration mechanisms, task allocation protocols, and approaches for handling uncertainty
- Adaptive Collaboration Frameworks: Dynamic systems that adjust to cognitive load and learn from human intervention
- Evaluation Methods: Novel approaches to measuring effectiveness of human-AI partnerships
- Implementation Architecture: Practical solutions and patterns for building collaborative systems

We particularly welcome submissions presenting concrete mechanisms, empirical evaluations, novel interaction patterns, and practical implementation challenges.

All submissions should demonstrate:
- Integration of both AI capabilities and human interaction aspects
- Consideration of practical design and implementation implications
- Clear connection to human-AI collaboration, even in theoretical or policy-focused work

SUBMISSION
----------
- Minimum 5 pages, CEUR-WS single column format
- Submit via Microsoft CMT: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/SYNERGY2025
- Selected papers will be invited for submission to a Special Issue on Hybrid Human-AI Systems in a leading journal
