TheseriesofworkshopsonMachineLearningforMultimodalInteraction(MLMI) celebratesthisyearits?fthanniversary.Onthisoccasion,anumberofinnovations havebeenintroducedin the reviewingandpublicationprocedures,while keeping the focus onthe samescienti?c topics. For the ?rst time, the reviewing process has been adapted in order to p- parethe proceedings in time for the workshop,held on September 8-10,2008,in Utrecht, The Netherlands. The 47 submissions received by the Program C- mittee were ?rst reviewed by three PC members each, and then advocated by an Area Chair. Overall, 12 oral presentations (ca. 25% of all submissions) and 15 poster presentations were selected. Authors were given one month to revise their papers according to the reviews,and the ?nal versions were brie?y checked by the two Program Co-chairs. Both types of presentation have been give equal space in the present proceedings. The 32 papers gathered in this volume cover a wide range of topics - lated to human-human communication modeling and processing, as well as to human-computer interaction, using several communication modalities. A sign- icant number of papers focus on the analysis of non-verbal communication cues, such as the expression of emotions, laughter, face turning, or gestures, which demonstrates a growing interest for social signal processing. Yet, another large set of papers targets the analysis of communicative content, with a focus on the abstractionofinformationfrommeetingsintheformofsummaries,actionitems, ordialogueacts.OthertopicspresentedatMLMI2008includeaudio-visualscene analysis, speech processing, interactive systems and applications.
