The Special Issue Editorial introduces the research milieu in which Social Signal Processing originates, by merging computer scientists and social scientists and giving rise to this field in parallel with Human-Computer Interaction, Affective Computing, and Embodied Conversational Agents, all similarly characterized by high interdisciplinarity, stress on multimodality of communication, and the continuous loop from theory to simulation and application. Some frameworks of the cognitive and social processes underlying social signals are identified as reference points (Theory of Mind and Intersubjectivity, mirror neurons, and the ontogenesis and phylogenesis of communication), while three dichotomies (automatic vs. controlled, individualistic vs. intersubjective, and meaning vs. influence) are singled out as leads to navigate within the theoretical and applicative studies presented in the Special Issue.
本期特刊社论介绍了社会信号处理产生的研究环境，它融合了计算机科学家和社会科学家，并与人机交互、情感计算和具身对话代理领域同时兴起，所有这些领域都具有高度跨学科性、强调通信的多模态以及从理论到模拟和应用的连续循环等特点。一些作为参考点的社会信号背后的认知和社会过程框架被确定（心理理论和主体间性、镜像神经元以及通信的个体发生和系统发生），同时三个二分法（自动与受控、个人主义与主体间性、意义与影响）被挑出来作为在本期特刊中呈现的理论和应用研究中导航的线索。
